Researchers have uncovered a new way to generate exotic oscillation states in tiny magnetic structures—using only minimal energy. By exciting magnetic waves, they triggered a delicate motion that ...

High-energy particles called galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) bombard unprotected objects in space, often causing damage. Earth, however, is protected by its magnetic field, which creates a protective ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it. Russia responds after Trump says he plans to take Cuba Iran launches ...

As black holes feed, they pull material into a disk around them. The material orbiting in this disk gets heated to extreme temperatures, and so it becomes a plasma — a state of matter in which some of ...

In collaboration with the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Oshima College, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) succeeded in developing a new regenerator material composed ...

Rhys Parry is a research fellow in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. I didn’t set out to build a career on other people’s data.

Jupiter’s colossal storms generate lightning flashes at least 100 times more powerful than those on Earth, according to scientists analyzing data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The findings were ...

Kate Marvel, a well-known author, joins an estimated 95,000 people who have left federal science agencies since President Trump returned to the White House. By Eric Niiler Kate Marvel, a widely known ...

A striking change in how the world’s largest biomedical funding agency solicits research proposals has sparked debate about how it should fund science. US science after a year of Trump: what has been ...

Each year, Space Science Week brings together leaders across the space science disciplines to explore the latest developments and discuss the future of the field from a variety of perspectives, from ...
