It turns out the mysterious force is a previously undiscovered global electric field, a recent study found. The field is only about the strength of a watch battery — but it’s enough to thrust ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago ...

NASA scientists have discovered a third global energy field around Earth. Known as the ambipolar electric field, this force drives charged particles into space above the poles. Two major global ...

Now, more than half a century later, NASA has finally recorded this theoretical field and measured a change in electric potential of only 0.55 volts, the correct amount needed to send ions at ...

You can get in touch with Jess by emailing j.thomson@newsweek.com. A strange electric field around the Earth, long suspected to exist, has been detected for the very first time, and it is believed ...

A group of University of Minnesota students traveled through Minnesota and the Dakotas, visiting energy infrastructure ...
