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

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

A new study reports that researchers have successfully used a meticulously designed cylinder to harness electricity as it ...

Experts warn that "something" in the core of the Earth is causing the magnetic pole to shift. North Pole is shifting toward Siberia and raising concern ...

It is aligned with lines of longitude, which converge at this point. In contrast, magnetic north is the shifting location where Earth’s magnetic field lines point vertically downward ...

The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...

the angle at which magnetic field lines intersect the Earth. The turtles use these two pieces of information, which vary at every point on the planet's surface, as navigational markers that help ...

Scientists have confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections in the ...

A permanent magnet is always magnetic. It has an invisible magnetic field. Only certain materials, such as iron, feel a magnetic force. Permanent magnets can come in lots of different shapes and ...

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 ...

Some animals that migrate across the globe, such as birds, salmon, lobsters and sea turtles, are known to navigate using the magnetic field lines that stretch from Earth's North to South Pole.
