Electrons in Earth's magnetic field often exhibit a striped pattern of intensity as a function of electron energy and altitude. A model that factors in some unexpectedly important effects can now ...

Earth’s inner radiation belt displays a persistent zebra striped pattern generated by our planet's rotation, Nasa’s twin Van Allen Probes spacecraft have found. Scientists had previously believed that ...

Scientists have uncovered a mysterious structure that surround the earth rather like a giant zebraprint jacket. The strange structure has never been seen before, and initially baffled scientists.

Scientists have discovered a new, persistent structure in Earth’s inner radiation belt using data from the twin NASA Van Allen Probes spacecraft. Most surprisingly, this structure is produced by the ...

Scientists have discovered a new, persistent pattern in Earth's inner radiation belt using data from the twin NASA Van Allen Probes spacecraft. Most surprisingly, the pattern is produced by the slow ...

Scientists have discovered a new, persistent structure in one of two radiation belts surrounding Earth. NASA's twin Van Allen Probes spacecraft have shown that high-energy electrons in the inner ...

Stripe patterns are commonly seen in nature—for instance, birds and fish move in coordinated flocks and schools, fingerprints ...
