Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic field.

A trio of US researchers claim to have successfully tested predictions that it's possible to harvest clean energy from the ...

The Earth's Magnetism The fact that the grains of ancient rocks are lined up like tiny compass needles has led to the astonishing conclusion that the earth's magnetic poles have wandered and ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...

The liquid inner core churned as it released heat into the cooler mantle, moving molten iron around the core and enabling Earth’s magnetic field to exist. By the Ediacaran, this difference in ...

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny ...
