The lower box is one the earliest spacecraft ion thrusters (from EOS circa 1962), and on top is a new arrival, a modern marvel from the SpaceX Starlink satellites used for on orbit maneuvering. SpaceX ...

The magnetic Joy-Cons were confirmed to be true in the Switch 2's official reveal trailer. Accessory manufacturer Genki also reportedly showed a life-sized model of the Switch 2 model at CES 2025.

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, and (given the time of year) Santa's sleigh: the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially being changed, continuing its ...

The needle of a compass has guided humanity for centuries, pointing unerringly toward the magnetic north. But what happens when that point moves — and accelerates? This week, scientists unveiled ...
