Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New satellite data and advanced simulations show that the morning side of the ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...

Controlling magnetic states in materials typically requires continuous power or only works in rare, specialized systems. Researchers developed a general theory showing how electric fields can ...

NASA scientists have discovered a planet-wide electric field surrounding Earth, confirming a 60-year-old hypothesis. Studying the field could yield some vital information about how our planet's ...

As the world races toward carbon neutrality—think Japan's 2050 goal and global bans on gas-guzzling cars by ...
