NEC has contributed to the realization of real-time earth magnetosphere simulator developed by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: Dr. Makoto Nagao) ...

A magnetosphere forms around any magnetized object, such as a planet, that is immersed within a stream of ionized gas, called plasma. Because Earth possesses an intrinsic magnetic field, the planet is ...

The magnetic fields that surround some planets, such as Earth, have been recreated in miniature in the lab. The 3D model may give us a better idea of how space weather affects satellites. Any ...

A numerical model simulation of the magnetosphere (the large bubble around the Earth caused by the Earth's magnetic field that protects Earth from solar wind) showing the hurricane activity during ...

Clockwise from upper left are: computer simulation of the solar wind in contact with the Earth's magnetosphere, magnetosphere simulation experiment at Columbia University, computer visualization of ...
