Much of spacecraft engineering is centered on mitigating the risks that come along with that re-entry process, but there’s one particular aspect of it that has remained a challe ...

Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles present new research on a curious cosmic phenomenon known as "whistlers"—very low frequency packets of radio waves that race along magnetic ...

Tiny highly uniform magnetic fields are known to pervade the universe, influencing various cosmological processes. To date, however, the physical mechanisms underpinning the generation of these fields ...

Boeing has been granted a patent for a force field-like defense system, leading excited sci-fi fans to herald the advent of something previously seen only in the realms of “Star Wars” or “Star Trek.” ...

FROM Star Trek to Star Wars, Dune to Dr Who, force fields have long been a staple of science fiction. Now Boeing has taken out a patent to produce the real thing. Instead it is intended to deflect the ...
