A new study is revealing that a reversal in the Earth's magnetic poles 42,000 to 41,000 years ago may have led to environmental crises that resulted in mass extinctions. The period is called the Laschamps excursion and the research used precise…
Earth's interior is a far from quiet place. Deep below our surface activities, the planet rumbles with activity, from plate tectonics to convection currents that circulate through the hot magmatic fluids far underneath the crust. Now scienti…
A portal is considered a shortcut, a guide, a door into the unknown. But portals, as we know them, are only present in sci-fi movies…right? Well, according to scientists it turns out that portals actually exist, and not only that, NASA-funded resea…
We are facing an anomaly over South Atlantic, researchers are calling it South Atlantic Anomaly. It is a region of the Earth’s magnetic field that has shifted so much that satellites get disrupted when they fly through it. The researchers provid…
Magnet’s novel quantum effects extend to room temperature. An international team led by researchers at Princeton University has uncovered a new class of magnet that exhibits novel quantum effects that extend to room temperature. The researchers dis…
As quantum effects govern the behavior of atoms, the effects of quantum physics underpin everything from the ability of plants to turn sunlight into chemical energy to the behavior of semiconductors in microchips. Their influence is, however, usual…
Strange structures in the sky that have puzzled astronomers for decades might finally have an explanation – and it's quite something. Image: Left: what the tunnel would look like; right: what the sky does look like. (Image Credit Below) The …
Construction workers have accidentally dug up a 40,000 year old tree that will give scientists insight into what will happen when Earth’s magnetic poles flip, which they are already starting to do Every 200,000 to 300,000 years, Earth’s magnetic No…
A portion of the Earth's magnetic field, known as the " South Atlantic Anomaly, " is weakening and may be headed for a split, shows new data. The strange phenomenon is also triggering technical problems in Earth-orbiting satellites. …
