The Endurance rocket was able to discover a force that had been theorized for decades which will help expand our knowledge of ...

The Earth’s ambipolar electric field is weak but strong enough to control the shape and evolution of the upper atmosphere.

NASA researchers affiliated with The Catholic University of America in Washington are part of an international team that has ...

This discovery by NASA recently of the ambipolar electric field in the orbit of the Earth is one of the greatest discoveries ...

A team of NASA scientists detected the ambipolar electric field for the first time with a suborbital rocket 150 miles above Earth’s atmosphere, the space agency said. The ambipolar electric ...

The ambipolar electric field boosts hydrogen ions out into space, fueling a strange phenomenon called the polar wind. Just as water in a pipe tends to flow from areas with high pressure to areas ...

This "ambipolar electric field" is a weak electrical field covering the entire planet, and was first theorized to exist over 60 years ago, but has finally been detected thanks to observations from ...

Known as the ambipolar electric field, scientists first hypothesized over 60 years ago that it drove how our planet's atmosphere can escape above Earth's North and South Poles. Measurements from ...

The ambipolar electric field, which begins 150 miles above the planet, has been described as a “great invisible force” that lifts up the sky and is responsible for the polar winds. The polar ...

This charging effect leads to a weak electrostatic field that works in both directions and is therefore referred to as an "ambipolar field". Although it is weak, it has a major influence on the ...
