Unprecedented simulations show the formation of space tornadoes capable of causing strong geomagnetic storms around Earth, ...

Weather forecasting is a powerful tool. During hurricane season, for instance, meteorologists create computer simulations to ...

Spirals of solar wind can spin off larger solar eruptions and disrupt Earth's magnetic field, yet they are too difficult to ...

Before you submit an error, please consult our Video Help page. Reactions is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon ...

With advance warning, however, steps can be taken to reduce the risks. If an electrical grid is running near capacity, for ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects ...

In a recent study, we tested a practical fix: two “magnetic cleaning powders” that can attach onto microplastics in water; the combined clumps can then be pulled out using a magnet. These materials ...

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

Call it H 2 0 2.0. Water is essential to life — it serves as building material for cells, helps regulate body temperature and lubricates joints. Though it is so crucial, many Americans aren’t ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.
