A surprising reversal in molten iron flow beneath the Pacific is giving scientists a sharper view of how Earth’s magnetic ...

The Earth's liquid molten outer core, composed mostly of iron and nickel, exerts an electromagnetic field extending from the north and south pole that protects the planet from harmful solar particle ...

The sun erupted over the weekend, flinging electromagnetic radiation towards Earth, even illuminating skies with spectacular aurora borealis. For the first time, ESA's unlikely space weather duo of ...

Invisible yet vital, Earth’s magnetic field plays a crucial role in shielding the planet from harmful solar radiation and cosmic particles. Generated deep within the Earth’s molten outer core, this ...

At the edge of Antarctica, where the air is clean and the human world thins out, a strange instrument listens to the planet.

Two scientists discovered a new type of 'whistler,' an electromagnetic wave that carries a substantial amount of lightning energy to the Earth's magnetosphere. Two University of Alaska Fairbanks ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Michael Zhdanov, a Distinguished Professor and Director of CEMI at the University of Utah, outlines the potential of Glass Earth® technology in improving geological interpretation, leading to better ...

Nearly 20 years ago, researchers at Oregon State University began leading an effort to collect information about the structure and evolution of the North American continent using electromagnetic ...

Electromagnetic phenomena in oceanic environments emerge when seawater, a conductive fluid, moves through the Earth’s magnetic field. Motional induction generates electric and magnetic fields that ...
