NASA’s Endurance mission has finally confirmed a planet-wide electric field long suspected but never measured. Known as the ...

NASA scientists have discovered a third global energy field around Earth. Known as the ambipolar electric field, this force drives charged particles into space above the poles. Two major global energy ...

Transient cosmic ray phenomena produced by a solar superstorm can be linked to variations in atmospheric electricity.

A strange electric field around the Earth, long suspected to exist, has been detected for the very first time, and it is believed to cause a polar wind which launches particles into space at ...

Could decades of magnetospheric theory have been looking at Earth’s electric heart the wrong way around? The answer, in new research, is yes and the implications ripple from satellite safety to ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...

During the 1960s, spacecraft traveling above Earth's poles discovered a stream of particles flowing out of the Earth's poles, and theorized that there must be an unknown field driving these particles ...

One of the biggest goals in space exploration is getting humans to the distant planet, Mars. However, reaching Mars involves not just one but myriad engineering challenges, including the long distance ...

A new method using a combination of strong and weak electric fields to change nanoparticle speed and direction could improve ...

We all know that sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell are the five human senses, but really they’re just the beginning. There are things like proprioception, the sense of orienting your body in space ...
