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 ...

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 ...

These formations appear to have different mineral compositions, which could affect the Earth’s core heat dissipation and ultimately destabilize the planet’s magnetic field. Scientists from ...

New research sheds light on the Earth's "innermost inner core," offering ... Understanding the makeup of the core could paint a picture of how the planet's magnetic field developed and how it ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists from Beihang University in China have detected a phenomenon typically associated with Earth's magnetic field 100,000 kilometres (62,000 miles) beyond our ...

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 ...

Fluid-rock interactions on ancient Mars may have produced abundant magnetic minerals that preserved unusually intense records ...
