Solar magnetic activity, manifesting as sunspots, flares, and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), is the fundamental driver of ...

In 2008, Erez Ben-Yosef unearthed a piece of Iron Age "trash" and inadvertently revealed the strongest magnetic-field anomaly ever found. Ben-Yosef, an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University, had been ...

A fast-expanding weak zone in Earth’s magnetic field is drawing the attention of scientists, satellite operators, and geomagnetic modelers worldwide. Known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), this ...

The surface of the sun writhes and dances. Far from the still, whitish-yellow disk it appears to be from the ground, the sun sports twisting, towering loops and swirling cyclones that reach into the ...

Weather forecasting is a powerful tool. During hurricane season, for instance, meteorologists create computer simulations to forecast how these destructive storms form and where they might travel, ...

A fundamental prediction of superconductivity theory has been demonstrated in the lab for the first time. An international team of physicists has observed coherent quantum phase slip, a phenomenon ...
