NASA scientists are concerned about a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field, which can make life at the International ...

Understanding these patterns could help scientists predict ... for predicting future magnetic behavior. The study of Earth's magnetic field and its potential flip within a human lifetime offers ...

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 ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the ...

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 ...

While we go about our days – working, eating and sleeping – the Earth is constantly rotating through its own magnetic field. Now, experts claim it is possible to harvest clean energy from this ...

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 ...

Creatures from migratory eels and other fish species to insects to birds tap into the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, sometimes many thousands of miles. But so far, evidence has been scant for any ...

We all know that the Earth is in constant motion - it is something we learnt in school, and while we might not feel it at all, our planet is constantly moving, completing one rotation around the ...
