Magnetic compasses struggle aboard steel ships, but gyrocompasses solve the problem by exploiting Earth’s rotation itself. This video explains the physics of gyroscopes, precession, and modern fiber ...

Scientists had assumed that Mars had a negligible effect on the climate of Earth. A focused study revealed some unexpected ...

An Archaeologist has uncovered evidence of a lost civilization' that hid a sophisticated code around the world.

On Groundhog Day 2026, Punxsutawney Phil made his prediction on a day that also marks a key cosmic milestone: Earth’s halfway ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

Pivot Energy, a Denver-based leading renewable energy provider and independent power producer, and CoorsTek, a Golden, Colorado-based global leader in technical ceramics, are bringing more solar ...

Scientists at the University of Southampton have uncovered evidence from ancient rocks that Earth's climate continued to ...

A team of geologists found for the first time evidence linking regions of low seismic velocity and the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Earth's magnetic field is generated by the churn of its liquid nickel-iron outer core, but it is not a constant feature.

Abrupt climate shifts are well documented in Earth's history and are commonly associated with ice-sheet dynamics during past ice ages. However, how similar millennial-scale climate variability could ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New research links Earth’s orbital wobble to 4,000–5,000-year climate swings during a hot, ice-free Cretaceous period. (CREDIT: ...

Most of the time, the shape of Earth’s magnetic field is quite similar to that which would be produced by a bar magnet ...
