The story of how Earth’s magnetic field once collapsed, solar radiation went wild, and humans adapted with prehistoric ...

Ochre body paint may have been a form of prehistoric sunscreen that helped early humans survive a sudden increase in ...

You could say pants and sunscreen might’ve saved humanity. Now, here’s the kicker: Earth’s magnetic field has been weakening again. Not to Laschamps levels, but it’s declined by about 1% ...

Long before modern sunscreens, Homo sapiens may have found natural ways to protect themselves from the sun’s dangerous rays.

"Consider the potential disruptions to navigation, technology, and even wildlife from a reversal of Earth's magnetic poles." ...

Their approach is to sense anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field and compare them with a known map of the field to work out their position. And because they use quantum sensors for this process, ...

The warming hole might be a sign that Atlantic Ocean currents are slowing down. This network of currents regulates Earth's ...

How it works Artist’s impression of how an ultrafast disruption of superconductivity in a YBCO thin film triggers an abrupt magnetic field quench, setting off dynamics in a neighbouring magnetic ...
