NASA’s IMAP mission, led by Princeton University’s David McComas, will study the heliosphere — the invisible electromagnetic ...

The Earth’s magnetic field, a silent guardian against harmful solar radiation, has been behaving strangely in recent years.

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

It also acts as the most powerful particle accelerator in the neighborhood ... The Sun constantly blows out a solar wind of ...

Ofer Cohen works for the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The university benefits from any public article that is written by one of its faculty in terms of exposure and visibility. Ofer Cohen ...

Physicists have begun using the gigantic magnetic fields of galaxy clusters to observe distant black holes in their search for an elusive particle that has stumped scientists for decades. (Nanowerk ...

The majestic auroras have captivated humans for thousands of years, but their nature — the fact that the lights are electromagnetic and respond to solar activity — was only realized in the last 150 ...

The Milky Way's rotating disk of gas and dust gives rise to graceful spiral arms, which make up the galaxy's most active star formation sites. Now researchers using an airplane-borne telescope high in ...
