During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

A supercomputer may have just predicted when life on Earth will end, and, thankfully, it's going to be a long time from now.

2 paleomagnetic field model to simulate global magnetic ... This one-way feedback chain allowed them to trace how changes in Earth’s intrinsic magnetic field affected the shape and size of ...

Additionally, ancient humans may have ramped up their use of ochre. This naturally occurring pigment is composed of iron ...

Researchers from the University of Toho, Japan, recently collaborated with NASA scientists to use supercomputers to determine ...

Mukhopadhyay developed a model that predicts how this plasma system interacts with Earth's magnetic field, ultimately driving the formation of the aurora. This magnetic field has a north and south ...

the team created a detailed map of the Earth’s space environment during the Laschamps event. This model showed where magnetic field lines opened up and where radiation could penetrate to the ground.
