Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

A group of U.S.-based physicists has presented experimental evidence suggesting that electricity can be generated from the ...

Without the effects caused by the spinning Earth, the magnetic fields generated within the liquid core would cancel one another out and result in no distinct north or south magnetic poles.

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...

In a controversial experiment, physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth's rotational energy to generate electricity.

New research sheds light on the Earth's "innermost inner core," offering new insight into the formation of the planet and its magnetic field. From our morning news briefing to a weekly Good News ...

Seismic wave data previously suggested the Earth’s hot inner core is slowing its spin. Now, researchers say it’s also deforming around the edges Sara Hashemi Scientists released an update to a ...

Earth's core has been a growing topic of interest. It is responsible for the planet's magnetic field, which protects life from the sun's radiation. Despite its importance, there is still much that ...

The behaviour of a compass shows that the Earth has a magnetic field. The Earth's core, which is made from iron and nickel, produces this magnetic field.

As this material is often conductive, it will likely affect the Earth’s magnetic field, as argued by [Sierra Solter-Hunt] in a pre-publication article. Although the speculation by [Sierra] can ...

Would it still point north, or would it aimlessly spin in the absence of a dominant ... which is generated by the movement of molten iron in Earth’s outer core. This strong, bullet-shaped global ...
