This sci-fi concept could one day be a reality, say our readers, however the measurements would need to be exact to avoid ...

Does Earth's magnetic field do all that much against cosmic rays? Those are quite high energy, hundreds of MeV. My understanding is most of the effect is against solar radiation, which is much lower ...

How realistic is artificial gravity in space? This video explores the physics behind the idea, why it’s so difficult to ...

Space poses unique challenges to astronaut health, from bone loss to muscle deterioration. At Wake Forest University, scientists are using mice in space to study these effects and develop solutions ...
