Researchers confirm the rapid expansion of the South Atlantic Anomaly, a weak spot in Earths magnetic field, which is now ...

Data collected from a once-defunct NASA satellite show that Earth grew two extra radiation belts following a supercharged ...

The temporary belts, one of which still remains, were filled with high-energy electrons and protons and were found by a ...

Scientists have identified water as one of the most effective materials for blocking radiation. Water is dense and contains ...

Did you know that Earth’s magnetic field plays a significant role in shaping global weather patterns? This invisible shield ...

A 42,000-year-old tree reveals Earth’s last magnetic pole flip, exposing the planet to deadly radiation. Scientists warn a ...

To shield astronauts from dangerous space radiation, researchers are developing 3D-printed hydrogels—materials that absorb ...

The human body was not built for spaceflight, with its microgravity conditions, exposure to high-energy radiation and other ...

New research suggests a novel solution: a material called "hydrogel" — the same technology used for the 'grow monster' toys — ...

On May 10, 2024, the strongest solar storm in 20 years sparked auroras on Earth that were visible as far south as Florida. It also created two new bands of radiation around the planet, researchers ...

Hydrogel is something that most of us are familiar with from it being used in contact lenses, burn dressings, and hair gel.

These bands are similar to the Van Allen belts — a pair of permanent donut-shaped radiation belts that extend up to 36,000 miles (58,000 kilometers) from Earth's surface and help to shield our ...
