Could decades of magnetospheric theory have been looking at Earth’s electric heart the wrong way around? The answer, in new research, is yes and the implications ripple from satellite safety to ...

For nearly two centuries, physics textbooks have treated light as magnetically indifferent to the materials it passes through, a pure messenger of energy and information that leaves magnetic order ...

Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy ...

The zeta potential occurs in double layers on the surface of particles suspended in colloids as well. Prof Hiroyuki Ohshima of Tokyo University of Science has been a lifelong theoretical researcher of ...

NASA has successfully tested an electric force field on the Moon that protects spacecraft from destructive lunar dust. The Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) was carried aboard Firefly Aerospace’s Blue ...

In the beginning, there was nothing. Sort of. During its early days, the solar system contained little more than gas and dust, whirling around a young, burning star. Eventually, some of those space ...

Growing up is hard to do, especially for baby planets. Now, scientists may have uncovered the solution to one puzzle about protoplanetary growing pains. An obstacle to planetary formation, known as ...
