(PhysOrg.com) -- Neutral atoms--having no net electric charge--usually don't act very dramatically around a magnetic field. But by `dressing them up` with light, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute, a collaborative venture of the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Maryland at College Park, have caused ultracold rubidium atoms to undergo a startling transformation. http://www.physorg.com/news154769672.html Physics Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:36:38 EST news154769672 A detailed analysis of the measurements of five different satellites has revealed the existence of the warm plasma cloak, a new region of the magnetosphere, which is the invisible shield of magnetic fields and electrically charged particles that surround and protect Earth from the onslaught of the solar wind. http://www.physorg.com/news148316137.html Space & Earth Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:55:37 EST news148316137 (PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists using ESA's Mars Express have produced the first crude map of aurorae on Mars. These displays of ultraviolet light appear to be located close to the residual magnetic fields generated by Mars's crustal rocks. They highlight a number of mysteries about the way Mars interacts with electrically charged particles originating from the Sun. http://www.physorg.com/news146487857.html Space & Earth Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:04:17 EST news146487857
