University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a magnetic cloak device that hides or shields an object from external ...

A magnetic cloak works by diverting external magnetic fields so that, to an external observer, the object appears to be absent or invisible. Although this idea ...

Human missions to Mars are edging closer to reality, but the physics of deep space is not cooperating. Outside Earth’s magnetic cocoon, astronauts would be bombarded by high‑energy particles that can ...

The D’Onghia magnetic shielding crew hat, or CREW HaT, is a system that uses electromagnetic coils to deflect cosmic radiation from astronauts. The system consists of: A ring of electrical coils ...

Superconducting magnets, commonly found in MRI scanners, produce stronger, more efficient magnetic fields using smaller and lighter magnets than magnets made using conventional materials such as ...

It used to be thought that there were more volatiles than expected in lunar soil because they escaped Earth before it had a ...

Next to a nuclear reactor in Germany is a four ton, ten cubic meter metal box surrounded by lasers. The box is the most magnetically-shielded room ever built: the magnetic field inside is just a tenth ...

An aurora glows near Australia in a photo taken from the International Space Station. Auroras are products of charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. NASA Roughly four ...

A particle detector being prepared for launch Friday aboard space shuttle Endeavour is intended to answer some fundamental questions about physics, but it has a practical side as well — testing a way ...

Researchers in Kenya are seeking to reduce the influence of the Geomagnetic field on PV panel performance by replacing aluminum module frames with a steel cage. They have specified they have been ...

The Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop is happening right now at NASA headquarters in Washington DC. The workshop is meant to discuss ambitious space projects that could be realized, or at least ...
