DR. O. HEAVISIDE has investigated (NATURE, April 19) the slow motion of a charged conducting sphere through a uniform electric field, in a direction parallel to the electric force of the field ...

Increasing the size of the magnetic field (red horizontal arrows) applied to rod-like viruses during self-assembly produces thicker, larger disks. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10. ...

It was a bloated, tempestuous sphere — twice its current size, glowing with internal heat, and wrapped in a magnetic field fifty times stronger than what it possesses now.

Geophysicist Daniel Lathrop wants, among other things, to use it to predict when the Earth’s magnetic field will next reverse. ... With the sphere spinning at 45 miles per hour, ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is why we are here today. It protects life from harmful radiation from the Sun and many other cosmic events. It is generated in the liquid outer core of our planet ...

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint mission between the European Space Agency and NASA, is the first to venture into a ...

The history of magnetism on Mars remains a critical field of study since it is closely tied to the planet’s potential capacity for life billions of years ago. Mars’ magnetic field was once generated ...

This magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun's magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state, Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist and Space.com ...

Made of iron and nickel, the hot, solid sphere is about 70% the size of the moon. ... The turtles rely on Earth’s magnetic field to help them navigate in two ways.
