University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a magnetic cloak device that hides or shields an object from external ...

Human missions to Mars are edging closer to reality, but the physics of deep space is not cooperating. Outside Earth’s magnetic cocoon, astronauts would be bombarded by high‑energy particles that can ...

Next to a nuclear reactor in Germany is a four ton, ten cubic meter metal box surrounded by lasers. The box is the most magnetically-shielded room ever built: the magnetic field inside is just a tenth ...

It used to be thought that there were more volatiles than expected in lunar soil because they escaped Earth before it had a ...

A magnetic cloak works by diverting external magnetic fields so that, to an external observer, the object appears to be absent or invisible. Although this idea ...

The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

Researchers in Kenya are seeking to reduce the influence of the Geomagnetic field on PV panel performance by replacing aluminum module frames with a steel cage. They have specified they have been ...

An aurora glows near Australia in a photo taken from the International Space Station. Auroras are products of charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. NASA Roughly four ...

A particle detector being prepared for launch Friday aboard space shuttle Endeavour is intended to answer some fundamental questions about physics, but it has a practical side as well — testing a way ...

Earth's magnetic field protects the surface from solar wind and cosmic radiation. However, according to a new study about 42,000 years ago, this shield failed, leading to widespread environmental ...
