Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

Magnetic field data collected by ESA's Swarm satellites and other sources has been coverted into these frightening sounds.

Neanderthals have long been the subject of intense scientific debate. This is largely because we still lack clear answers to ...

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

Magnetic reconnection — when magnetic field lines converge, break apart and reconnect in an explosive physical process — energizes particles and generates high-speed flows.

Scientists measure the strength of these storms by how much Earth’s magnetic field is deformed. It’s based on the speed of the solar wind, the size of the solar storm and the amount of ...

Earth's magnetic field results from a swirling sea of electrically charged molten iron in the planet's outer core. Heat currents and Earth's spin both fuel the movement of this liquid iron. The ...

Earth's magnetic field, or magnetosphere, first formed up to 3.7 billion years ago and is generated by the swirling metallic ocean within our planet's outer core.

An animation using data from the European Space Agency (ESA) allows you to listen to a "sounded visualization" of Earth's magnetic field being disrupted during the Laschamp event.

30 sec seamless loop animation of aurora borealis from space over the spinning earth globe with visible day and night sides. Visualization of Earth's Magnetic Field Dynamics Animation showing Earth's ...

Earth’s ambipolar electric field helps kick its oxygen out into space, too. But Earth has one key advantage over Mars and Venus: a global magnetic field to guide charged particles around the planet.
