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 ...

A new study reports that researchers have successfully used a meticulously designed cylinder to harness electricity as it passed through Earth’s magnetic field. However, some experts are ...

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 ...

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 ...

Then, in 1973, two geophysicists called Christopher Russell and Robert McPherron presented a theory involving the magnetic fields of the Earth and the Sun. Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s ...

Vastu Shastra advises aligning one's sleeping position with the Earth's magnetic fields to enhance rest and overall well-being. South is the optimal direction, promoting good health, while East is ...

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...

SOME preliminary results have been obtained from an investigation being undertaken at College, Alaska, concerning the correspondence of the Earth's magnetic field micropulsations 1 with pulsating ...

Now, though, a controversial new paper warns that falling space junk could actually weaken Earth’s magnetic field. If that happens, the author of the paper argues that we could see atmospheric ...
