For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the ...

Athena EPIC is poised to serve as a pathfinder for space startup NovaWurks and its sensorcraft architecture, demonstrating a ...

Along with launching two NASA probes, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried five other satellites into orbit with goals ranging ...

Two NASA satellites rocketed into orbit from California aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Wednesday, commencing a $170 million ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at new advances in fusion power, how the new budget bill undermines clean ...

Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream ...

Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere and magnetic field make life possible, but scientists have discovered that there’s a hidden link between the two that’s stronger than we originally imagined.

It turns out bogong moths possess a most extraordinary ability to navigate, harnessing Earth’s magnetic field and the stars as compasses to follow their inherited migratory direction.

Every breath we take in contains 21% oxygen, the gas that makes life on Earth possible. Oxygen, in its combined oxide state, has always been abundant in Earth's crust, but elemental diatomic ...

As Earth’s magnetic field has risen, so have the conditions that helped complex life to thrive — a discovery that could aid the search for life on distant planets.

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space ...

A combination of a dynamo-generated magnetic field and massive impacts could explain the highly magnetized rocks in some lunar regions.
