Nearly two centuries after Faraday's failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

According to scientists, this ambipolar electric field is thought to be just as crucial to Earth as both gravity and ...

Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current within the wire. This is the basic principle that allows electric motors and generators to operate. In the Earth (see ...

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, builds on work the team conducted back in 2016 and an idea ...

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S ...

Reader Jayant Bhalerao, a college physics instructor, found the story useful in class: “We will share it with our students, so that they can appreciate how ...

Creatures from migratory eels and other fish species to insects to birds tap into the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, sometimes many thousands of miles. But so far, evidence has been scant for any ...

At a cost not far above £10 ($13.70), this was an impulse purchase driven by curiosity; these devices claim to measure both magnetic and electric fields, but what do they really measure?
