Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak ...

Pigeons and other birds can do it. So can sea turtles and spiny lobsters, moths and mole rats, gray whales and big brown bats. Many members of the animal kingdom can detect the subtle undulations of ...

When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the Sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the Sun is a complex, dynamic celestial body, wrapped in electrical currents and magnetic ...

The hammering of boards and buzzing of circular saws at one end of the Rose Bowl is about to be replaced by another kind of buzz. A field-level end zone club could be the new hotspot for UCLA football ...

High-energy particles called galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) bombard unprotected objects in space, often causing damage. Earth, however, is protected by its magnetic field, which creates a protective ...

GLADSTONE, Mo. (KCTV) -A GPS-guided robot is painting field lines at Happy Rock Park, reducing what used to take a crew of six people up to seven hours to just 22 minutes for a single large soccer ...

Barreling through the universe with incredible power and speed, galactic cosmic rays are a major source of radiation in space. But thanks to Earth’s strong magnetic field, these charged particles ...

As black holes feed, they pull material into a disk around them. The material orbiting in this disk gets heated to extreme temperatures, and so it becomes a plasma — a state of matter in which some of ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

While we have sent probes billions of kilometres into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our own planet, not even making it through the thin crust. Roughly 3,000km beneath ...
