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

The electric current, in turn, creates its own magnetic field—one that is stronger than ... Our planet's spinning motion causes the moving liquid metal to spiral, in a way similar to how it ...

In theory, as Earth spins through its magnetic field, any conductive material placed on its surface should experience a force ...

How a Generator Works When an electric current flows through a wire, it generates a three-dimensional magnetic force field around the ... and the quicker the motion of the magnet or coil, the ...

When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet. The field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform. The small magnetic field caused by ...

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

A team of researchers led by Colorado State University graduate student Luke Wernert and Associate Professor Hua Chen has ...

Pictures may enliven us, but other data, such as information about magnetic fields, add a huge amount to our understanding of ...

slowing its natural motion down the pipe due to gravity. Where does the force come from? Electric currents and magnetic fields are closely related. If you have one, you often have (or can make ...

The researchers have shown that information can be transmitted using magnetic wave motion in complex networks ... that are exposed to magnetic fields, electric currents and voltages.

A team of researchers has developed a pioneering 3-axis Hall-effect magnetic sensor based on an inverted pyramid structure.
