Oliver Price, a planetary science Ph.D. student at University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory in the United Kingdom, has developed a new image-processing technique to mine through the wealth of data about...

The Curiosity rover has been probing the secrets of Mars since its arrival in 2012. Its discoveries include chemical signatures that could be related to life – or, alternatively, to geological processes.

AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism review LC circuits including the basics of how an LC circuit works, the limits, derivations of charge, current, and energy as a functions of time, and an animation of all of that. Also a...

LightUp, a small business funded by the National Science Foundation, has developed an educational augmented reality software application to help kids learn STEM subjects.



LightUp’s Hololab software allows kids to try...

This video explains the concept of magnetic fields that form around current carrying wires. It defines magnetic fields and how they are represented by magnetic field lines, which indicate the direction and strength of the magnetic field....

An amazing trove of fossilized footprints in New Mexico tells the harrowing story of a woman and a 2-year-old child’s dangerous journey around 13,000 years ago. <br/>

Eric Cornell, NIST Fellow and Nobel Laureate tells the exciting story of how he and colleague Carl Weiman made the first-ever observation of a new state of matter, the Bose-Einstein condensate, in 1995. The breakthrough led to the duo,...

As Earth warms, much of the extra heat is stored in the planet’s ocean – but monitoring the magnitude of that heat content is a difficult task.



A surprising feature of the tides could help, however....

NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has detected beams of antimatter launched by thunderstorms. Acting like enormous particle accelerators, the storms can emit gamma-ray flashes, called TGFs, and high-energy electrons and...

NASA satellites use very sensitive devices called magnetometers to measure the magnetic fields of planets. Like very sensitive compasses, these devices can measure both direction and strength of planetary magnetic fields. <b<b<br/>r/>r/>

Understanding the Sun’s behavior is an important part of life in our solar system. The Sun’s powerful outbursts can disturb the satellites and communications signals traveling around Earth, or one day, Artemis...

In this video, we're going to learn the Flemings Left Hand Rule. This rule is important for determining the direction of rotation for a DC motor.

Admittedly, my prior tutorial on MO theory was a little confusing, and had some errors. I wanted to make things right, so here's another one! This will clarify some of the basic concepts, and will also extend them to discuss a new...

NASA’s InSight lander touched down in the Elysium Planitia region of Mars in November of 2018. During its time on the Red Planet, InSight has achieved all its primary science goals and continues to hunt for quakes on Mars....

NASA's Van Allen Probes revealed a new radiation belt around Earth



The Van Allen Probes mission discovered a previously unknown third radiation belt around Earth, revealing the existence of unexpected structures...

How did Mars, a once wet planet, lose its early atmosphere? One possibility is through a process called "sputtering," in which atoms are knocked away from the atmosphere due to impacts with energetic particles.<b<b<br/>r/>r/>

Every object, planet or person traveling through space has to contend with the Sun's damaging radiation -- and the Moon has the scars to prove it.



Research using data from NASA's ARTEMIS mission — short for...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission has returned unprecedented data from near the Sun, culminating in new discoveries published on Dec. 4, 2019, in the journal Nature. Among the findings are new...

When James first saw these bacteria, all he knew is that they came from a sample taken from a Portuguese beach. And on the slide, the bacteria were swimming in a stark line. And that gave James an idea. He took out his phone and opened...

How do transformers work? find out here in this video on how transformers work the basics.

What are the layers of the planet made up of? What are Aurorae? Why are there so many volcanoes on the moon IO? <br/>

In the current video we discuss the physics behind working of the a gyroscope. Gyroscope is a key component in IMU (Inertial...

NASA Goddard hosted a live

MAVEN will examine the upper atmosphere of Mars in unprecedented detail. It's scheduled to launch no earlier than 1:28 p.m. EST Monday, Nov. 18, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida....
