The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, builds on work the team conducted back in 2016 and an idea ...

The Keeble Observatory at Randolph-Macon College holds weekly public viewing during spring semester. Check their website ( or ...

A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic field, and a surprisingly simple device. If replicated, that could be pretty ...

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

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

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner core has experienced a b ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, the Moon's passage through Earth's magnetic field, or "geotail," does not lead to lower plasma densities. Listen to Story Scientists from the Space Physics Laboratory ...

Earth's core has been a growing topic of interest. It is responsible for the planet's magnetic field, which protects life from the sun's radiation. Despite its importance, there is still much that ...

They used a laser-heated diamond anvil cell to find this, and the discovery suggests there could be huge amounts of helium in the Earth's core. This could challenge long-standing ideas about the ...

Vidale said the discovery opened a door to reveal previously hidden dynamics deep within the earth’s core and may lead to better understanding of the earth’s thermal and magnetic fields.
