Atmospheric radiation encompasses the multifaceted processes by which solar energy and thermal emission interact within the Earth’s atmosphere. It is fundamental to the planet’s energy budget, ...

Cosmic rays, predominantly high-energy particles originating from outside the Solar System, interact with Earth’s atmosphere to produce a complex radiation environment. This continuous bombardment ...

Since the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts in in the Earth’s upper atmosphere in 1958, space scientists have believed that these belts consisted of two doughnut-shaped rings of highly ...

Leipzig. Over the next few years, climate researchers from Germany aim to achieve a breakthrough in the radiative properties of clouds by describing the corresponding processes not just ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Scientists at Dartmouth and the University of Exeter have discovered that radiation emitted by supermassive black holes ...

A NASA probe tasked with gathering data on Earth’s radiation belts has run out of fuel and is set to reenter through the atmosphere on Tuesday. NASA’s Van Allen Probe A is expected to re-enter the ...

New balloon-mounted space radiation probes developed by the Surrey Space Center at the University of Surrey have captured their first measurements of a major solar storm, confirming the research ...

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a vital shield against radiation arriving from space, but it is not constant. A new international study has examined how a reduction of the magnetic field similar to the ...

Isoprene (C 5 H 8) is one of the most abundant biogenic organic compounds emitted by vegetation, particularly by broadleaf trees commonly found in tropical rainforests. These emissions play a ...

Radiation exposure is especially dangerous for flight crews and frequent flyers. Here's how to best protect yourself.
