A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

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

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 ...

Engineers at JPL reduced the size of the radio detectors so they could ... EZIE's observations to those from Earth. "EZIE scientists will be collecting magnetic field data from above, and the ...

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

A new study reports that researchers have successfully used a meticulously designed cylinder to harness electricity as it passed through Earth’s magnetic field. However, some experts are ...

Chorus waves are electromagnetic oscillations traveling along the Earth's magnetic field lines. When converted into sound, ...

As this material is often conductive, it will likely affect the Earth’s magnetic field, as argued by [Sierra Solter-Hunt] in a pre-publication article. Although the speculation by [Sierra] can ...

While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was before, raising questions about the planet's magnetic field. If the Earth's field is disrupted ...
