It’s not much of a stretch to say that Earth’s inner structure, especially the innermost spherical core, has stupefied scientists for generations. It sits over 3,000 miles below the surface, smaller ...

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

In the Earth (see image below right), the liquid metal that makes up the outer core passes through a magnetic field, which causes an electric current to flow within the liquid metal. The electric ...

A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic ...

By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...

The intriguing possibility arises because Earth’s magnetic field does not rotate with the Earth like a physical object. Instead, it is created at each instant and remains essentially fixed in space.

New research led by a York University professor sheds light on the earliest days of Earth's formation and potentially calls ...

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

A compass contains a small bar magnet on a pivot so that it can rotate. The compass needle points in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, or the magnetic field of a magnet. place the ...
