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

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 ...

If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely have little atmosphere to speak of. Life (at least of the human variety) ...

sheds new light on the enigmatic shifts in Earth’s magnetic field, unveiling critical details that impact navigation, technology, and our understanding of the planet’s core. From pinpointing ...

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

When the Earth’s magnetic field is strong, as it is today, the amount of carbon generated by this interaction is relatively low, but it spikes when the magnetic field weakens and allows more ...

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 ...

These interactions can amplify the impact of the CMEs on Earth's magnetic field, sometimes creating geomagnetic storms. Nearly one-third of CMEs interact with other CMEs or the solar wind ...

Their analysis showed the complex magnetic field can determine increases in module fill factor and falls in maximum power. Researchers at the Multimedia University of Kenya have claimed the Earth ...

From there, the other directions can be figured out. Without the Earth’s magnetic field, this useful phenomenon would not occur. Whilst the geographical and magnetic north poles aren’t always ...
