Earth’s magnetic field has long been framed as a planetary force field, a protective bubble that keeps the worst of the Sun’s radiation at bay. Increasingly, though, scientists are finding that this ...

Scientists have finally confirmed that Earth is wrapped in a subtle but global electric field, a planetary-scale energy ...

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 ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...
