New LANL research team could result in design changes to spacecraft to "harden" them against space environment discharges.

Could an ocean – likely needed to sustain life – even survive on a planet orbiting close to a dead star? The sun will someday ...

For decades, scientists have puzzled over why lunar rocks show signs of strong magnetism when the moon itself has no global ...

"The James Webb Space Telescope has given us some infrared images of the aurora, but Juno is the first spacecraft in a polar orbit around Jupiter," Ali Sulaiman, an assistant professor of physics and ...

White dwarfs may still host habitable planets. Conditions like tidal heating and migration shape their potential for life. The Sun will eventually die. This will occur when it exhausts the hydrogen ...

Likely triggered by some excited electrons in the Sun, the aurora appeared in Norway's skies for two days around Christmas of ...

For decades, scientists have puzzled over a curious phenomenon: the Moon’s surface rocks show strong signs of magnetism, ...

The quantum world deals with the smallest parts of matter and energy, behaving differently than the larger objects we see ...

This week, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered the phenomenon behind sudden spacecraft failures in orbit.

In July 2018, physicists at CERN embarked on an experiment to slow down fast-moving antimatter particles as part of the international collaboration known as ALPHA. The ... Continue Reading → ...
