Researchers have developed a new way to remotely measure Earth's magnetic field--by zapping a layer of sodium atoms floating 100 kilometres above the planet with lasers on the ground.

A typical desk globe is designed to be a geometric sphere and to rotate smoothly when you spin it. Our actual planet is far less perfect — in both shape and in rotation. Earth is not a perfect sphere. When it rotates on its spin

A study on past reversals of Earth’s magnetic field has found that a rapid shift occurred within two centuries.

Thin ribbons of purple and white light that sometimes appear in the night sky were dubbed a new type of aurora when brought to scientists' attention in 2016.

Using new data gathered from sites in southern Africa, researchers have extended their record of Earth's magnetic field back thousands of years to the first millennium.

New research challenges the prevailing theory that the unique nature of Earth's iron was the result of how its core was formed billions of years ago.

Scientists at ELSI reported unexpected discoveries about Earth's core, including insights into conditions that existed during the formation of the Earth.

A new study sheds light on the improbable evolutionary path that enabled Earth to sustain life.
