Giraffes, those tall and graceful creatures, have always fascinated scientists. But there's one thing about them that hasn't gotten much attention: their milk. Specifically, what happens to it as they wean their calves. Milk changes as a mother's body prepares to stop producing it. This is true for
Scientists have discovered a new way to create special crystals. They mixed two old methods to make this happen. These crystals are unique because they can be magnetic. Three new types were made. One is not magnetic at all. The other two have parts that can be magnetic. One of these is like a 3D puz
Blue Origin is all set to give it another shot, launching its massive New Glenn rocket from Florida. This time, it's carrying NASA's ESCAPADE mission to Mars. The plan was delayed twice before, first because of bad weather and a random ship, and then due to a massive solar storm. Even though the sto
Jupiter's magnetic bubble, or magnetosphere, is a whirlwind of activity. Unlike Earth's, it's not just pushed around by the solar wind. Instead, it has a vast magnetodisk spinning around the planet. This disk has been studied for decades, but how it stays stable is still a puzzle. Recent findings f
The night sky across much of the United States lit up with a spectacular display of northern lights on Tuesday. This stunning event was caused by powerful geomagnetic storms, which sent vibrant hues of green and pink dancing across the heavens. The Aurora Borealis, usually seen near the Arctic Circl
A recent solar event caused a stunning light show in the night sky. The Northern Lights, usually seen in northern regions, were spotted as far south as New Jersey. This happened because of a powerful solar flare. The sun sent a huge cloud of plasma towards Earth. Scientists warned of a strong geomag
Utah might get a special show in the sky soon. A big solar storm could make the northern lights visible. This is a rare event. The Space Weather Prediction Center says it's a G4 storm. That's a severe level. It's not common. These storms can mess with power systems. The last one like this was months
Minnesota's Iron Range, once the backbone of America's industrial strength, is making a comeback. For over 150 years, this region supplied iron ore that helped build the nation's infrastructure and win wars. Today, it holds the potential to break China's dominance in the magnet market. China curren
A young boy in New Zealand found himself in serious trouble after swallowing a bunch of tiny, super-strong magnets. These weren't your average fridge magnets; they were powerful neodymium magnets, often sold as desk toys for adults. The boy, just 13 years old, ended up in the hospital with severe st
A British company is teaming up with a U. S. firm to develop a new way to power submarines. Tokamak Energy is providing high-tech magnets to General Atomics. These magnets are crucial for a new type of underwater propulsion system. This system uses magnetic fields to move water instead of traditiona
