A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...
(ii) Whereas the magnetic field is mostly poloidal for low rotation rates, more rapid rotators host a large-scale toroidal component in their surface field. From our observations, we infer that a ...
Scientists know well how conventional materials conduct heat. However, things are not as straightforward under extreme ...
The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...
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 ...
By analyzing seismic waves from earthquakes from the 1960s, researchers from Peking University deduced that the Earth's inner ...
