The Earth’s magnetic field plays a big role in protecting people from hazardous radiation and geomagnetic activity that could affect satellite communication and the operation of power grids. And it ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Laura holds a Master's ...

The Earth’s magnetic field serves multiple crucial functions, ranging from protecting our planet against solar wind and cosmic radiation to facilitating animal migration patterns and supporting human ...

A new analysis of computer simulations of Earth’s magnetic field suggests that its behavior was different early in Earth’s history, resulting in greater stability and fewer reversals of the magnetic ...

The iron-rich core at the center of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth's evolution. The core not only powers the ...

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 ...

A recent study reveals dynamic transformations in Earth's lower mantle, impacting both earthquakes and the magnetic field.

Recent research has revealed that Earth’s core is undergoing a slowdown in its rotation, a phenomenon that has piqued the interest of scientists around the world. Understanding the causes and ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped roughly 41,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space ...

New work from Carnegie’s Peter Driscoll suggests Earth’s ancient magnetic field was significantly different than the present day field, originating from several poles rather than the familiar two. It ...
