where the atmosphere and planetary magnetic field provide a shield from space radiation, astronauts are exposed to ...

Our planet’s magnetic field helps protect us from radiation, solar winds, and extreme temperature changes. The study found that the Earth’s magnetic field experienced a phase of drastic ...

Of course, there's Earth's magnetic field, which deflects dangerous cosmic radiation, wiggles our compasses, and guides flocks of migrating birds. But other planets and stars have magnetic fields ...

A G3 geomagnetic storm is predicted to strike Earth, with displays of the Northern Lights possible across northern U.S.

The Magnetic Field Safety Program is managed by the Radiation Safety office; a subset of the Office of Environmental and Emergency Management (EEM). We are here to ensure that Magnetic Fields on ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications.

Iridium-doped iron-cobalt (Fe-Co-Ir) alloys, previously identified through machine learning, have been shown to have enhanced ...

If the Earth's field is disrupted, it may cause problems in technology and navigation, as well as expose the planet to unwanted radiation. Magnetic poles move because the "liquid metal in the ...

"We now can determine the magnetic orientation of a material much quicker with light-induced current pulses," explains Dr. Jan-Christoph Deinert of HZDR's Institute of Radiation Physics.

"EZIE is the first mission dedicated exclusively to studying the electrojets," Larry Kepko, an EZIE mission scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said in a statement. "It does ...
