An invisible, weak energy field wrapped around our planet Earth has finally been detected and measured. It's called the ambipolar field, an electric field first hypothesized more than 60 years ago, ...

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

An international team of scientists reported the first successful detection of Earth’s ambipolar electric field, first hypothesized more than 60 years ago. According to NASA, the ambipolar electric ...

Scientists launched a rocket from Svalbard, Norway, that measured Earth’s ambipolar electric field for the first time. The weak field may control the shape and evolution of the upper atmosphere and ...

Eureka! As scientists continue to unravel the mysteries of our planet's atmosphere, a new finding provides valuable insights into Earth's ionosphere. Scientists have measured an electric field that ...

Earth has a global magnetic field that’s flinging tiny bits of our atmosphere out into space. Researcher’s from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center recently launched a rocket high into the sky over the ...

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. Stephen has degrees in ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

More than a decade of satellite monitoring has mapped Earth’s magnetic field as it subtly altered between 2014 and 2025 — and what scientists have learned is remarkable. The South Atlantic Anomaly, a ...

ESA’s Cluster satellites have flown through regions of the Earth’s magnetic field that accelerate electrons to approximately one hundredth the speed of light. The observations present Cluster ...
