In Sept. 2012, NASA’s Van Allen Probes observed the radiation belts around Earth had settled into a new configuration, separating into three belts instead of two. Scientists think the unusual physics ...

A messy paradox that has plagued geoscientists who study Earth's core and the magnetic field it produces may now be solved. The puzzle is only a few years old. It was raised in a 2012 paper in which ...

In this video, we explore cathode rays, the science behind super-fast electrons, and how they lead to the discovery of X-rays ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Physicists in Switzerland and Denmark have created a device that can separate pairs of entangled electrons. The device, which is based on a superconducting “Y” junction, should pave the way for tests ...

Excitons are pairs of bound negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes that form in semiconductors, enabling the transport of energy in electronic devices. These pairs of charge ...

Scientists have discovered a way to efficiently transfer electrical current through specific materials at room temperature, a ...

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are exploring a novel approach to mitigate a critical challenge in fusion energy development, i.e., the detrimental effects of runaway electrons.

In the already complicated science of what creates – and causes constant change in – two giant doughnuts of radiation surrounding Earth, researchers have added a new piece of information: some of the ...
