A low-oxygen environment — similar to the thin air found at Mount Everest base camp — can protect the brain and restore ...

Scientists create magnetic nanowire catalyst that boosts oxygen evolution, a key step in hydrogen production from water.

At the edge of two exotic materials, researchers discovered a strange new quantum state where electrons flow in six unusual directions—something never seen before. This “quantum liquid crystal” ...

Imagine looking up on a dark winter night to see rippling ribbons of green and purple light dancing across the sky. The ...

And when should you head outside to take a look? Here's what we know. What are the northern lights? The auroras are a ...

The sun has been active and unleashed an intense combination of coronal mass ejections and coronal hole high-speed streams with a geomagnetic storm forecasted for tonight, Aug. 7, and tomorrow, Aug. 8 ...

The Northern Lights may be visible in U.S. states after space weather experts at NOAA forecast a geomagnetic storm.

Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could ...

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory ...

The prevailing view in quantum physics has been that spin angular momentum determines how particles align in magnetic fields. Now, a breakthrough study led by researchers from Tokyo University of ...

New NASA research demonstrates that 540 million years of Earth’s magnetic field changes have corresponded to atmospheric oxygen levels, providing new evidence that hidden processes deep within the ...
