A team of Chinese scientists and their overseas counterparts have, for the first time, discovered evidence of a lunar tide-induced signal in the Earth's plasmasphere, the inner region of the ...

NASA's THEMIS mission observed how dense particles normally near Earth in a layer of the uppermost atmosphere called the plasmasphere can send a plume up through space to help protect against incoming ...

The idea of putting a Star Trek-like force field around the entire Earth seems like the fodder for a fairly silly science fiction epic out of the 1930s, but according to space scientists, such a ...
