Uranus's mysteriously asymmetrical and skewed magnetic field has long confounded astronomers—until now. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft zipped past Uranus in 1986, it noticed that the huge gas giant's ...

Where does the Earth’s magnetic field come from, why do we think it’s going to reverse itself (and what in the world does that mean, anyway?), and what’s any of that got to do with me or cosmic ...

The Magnetic Field Safety Program is managed by the Radiation Safety office; a subset of the Office of Environmental and Emergency Management (EEM). We are here to ensure that Magnetic Fields on ...

Cosmic radiation is what it sounds like: radiation from space. In this article, we explore what it is, why we are protected from it on Earth, how it affects people in specific jobs, and how it can ...

The increasing sophistication of high-voltage systems demands a comprehensive understanding of electric field effects and robust strategies for radiation protection. The interplay of intense electric ...

Data from a five-year study suggests that limited-field radiation therapy (radiation directed at the tumor site) may be as effective as whole-breast radiation therapy in preventing breast cancer ...

Electric and magnetic fields occur naturally and also come from human-made sources. Scientists and oversight agencies generally agree that low-frequency EMFs pose little danger to human health. Most ...
