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

Earth is an island of tranquility in a sea of searing solar radiation and energetic particles, and we have the planet's magnetic field to thank. Scientists searching for early records of Earth's ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

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 ...

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 ...

Their analysis showed the complex magnetic field can determine increases in module fill factor and falls in maximum power. Researchers at the Multimedia University of Kenya have claimed the Earth ...

Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic iron nanominerals, which function as tiny compasses that allow the microbes to navigate using Earth's geomagnetic field. Earth's iron cycle is a very ...
