Scientists at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) claim they have taken a significant step toward making fusion energy possible by applying a 3D magnetic field to counteract instabilities in a ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has made a major breakthrough in fusion energy research that could bring us a step closer to limitless energy. The researchers, at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), have ...

Satellite data reveal that a weak region in Earth's magnetic field has grown by an area roughly half the size of continental Europe in the last 10 years. A weak region in Earth's magnetic field has ...

The magnetic field of our planet was a complex and dynamic force that protected us from cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun. Scientists identified the field’s weak South Atlantic ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered that a 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is growing at an alarming rate. Known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), the region has expanded by an area nearly twice the ...

The first fusion reactions in a laboratory were achieved in 1934 — a major breakthrough at the time. Today, however, achieving a fusion reaction is not particularly difficult: in 2018, a ...

We’ve all had to shake jars of nail polish, model paint, or cell cultures. Mixing paint is easy – but bacteria and cells need to be agitated for hours. Happily, laboratory tube tumblers automate this ...
