Nearly two centuries after Faraday's failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

New research is reshaping how scientists understand the earliest days of Earth’s formation—suggesting that the deep interior ...

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 ...

New research sheds light on the earliest days of the earth's formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary science about the early years of rocky planets.

Then, in 1973, two geophysicists called Christopher Russell and Robert McPherron presented a theory involving the magnetic fields of the Earth and the Sun. Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

SOME preliminary results have been obtained from an investigation being undertaken at College, Alaska, concerning the correspondence of the Earth's magnetic field micropulsations 1 with pulsating ...
