Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

There should be rocks showing both impact shock and high magnetism located near the lunar South Pole on the far side of the ...

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

NASA's Perseverance rover is exploring a new Mars region called Krokodillen, which is thought to harbor some of the oldest and most intriguing rocks on the Red Planet.

A scary scene developed at PNC Park on Wednesday night as a fan fell from the stands to the field. The evening's Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs game came to a halt when a fan tumbled from the ...

If you were to ask scientists where life exists beyond Earth, they would correctly tell you that we do not know. There is so much that we do not understand about life on Earth, let alone about where ...

According to NASA, the aurora on Earth may last only a few minutes, but on Saturn, it can last for days. In the 2010s, aurora ...
