It almost seems too simple to be true. Silicate rock, during the natural process of breaking down in soil, draws carbon from the air – thus helping to absorb carbon emissions and potentially ...

Abstract: This work first presents a broadband active dual-component magnetic probe with high sensitivity for near-field measurements. The proposed active magnetic probe is mainly composed of two ...

It would be an understatement to say that the Earth's magnetic field is important. It's one of the reasons we're able to live on this rock tumbling through space, and it also gives us the gorgeous ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it. Those millions of dead people supposedly claiming Social Security? It’s ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. David Bressan is a geologist who covers curiosities about Earth.

A new analysis argues that Earth’s magnetic field during the Ediacaran had structure hiding inside its wild swings. The work points to a pattern that could finally let scientists place continents more ...

A major dip in the Earth’s magnetic field over the South Atlantic has been puzzling scientists for over a century. An international team of researchers analyzed data collected by the European Space ...

In a milestone for China’s fusion technology efforts, Shanghai Electric has completed what it describes as the world’s largest toroidal field magnet coil box. Made from ultra-low-temperature ...

Abstract: During the current interruption process, the vacuum arc evolution characteristics are crucial in determining whether a vacuum circuit breaker can interrupt the current successfully. In order ...
