A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic ...

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 ...

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 ...

These interactions can amplify the impact of the CMEs on Earth's magnetic field, sometimes creating ... CMEs evolve in the interplanetary medium to double their predicted geo-effectiveness ...

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 ...

As asteroids explore interplanetary space ... Kimura says the strength of the early solar system's magnetic field decreased as planets formed. Measuring the remaining magnetization of asteroids ...

So, we decide to play interplanetary gardener and dump ... Plus, let's not forget about Mars' lack of a global magnetic field, leaving its atmosphere vulnerable to being stripped away by solar ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...
