For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity.

It is a common grade school experiment to wind some wire around a screw, power it up, and watch it pick up paper clips or other ferrous materials. It is also grade school science to show that ...

A controversial device that most scientists said was impossible has successfully generated electricity from the Earth's ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

The main variables in a science experiment are the independent variable, the dependent variable and the control variables. The Independent Variable is what we change or control in the experiment.

Scientists have developed a tiny flower-shaped structure that’s made of a nickel-iron alloy to concentrate and locally ...

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

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

With today’s data rates of only a few hundred megabytes per second, access to digital information remains relatively slow. Initial experiments have already shown a promising new strategy: Magnetic ...

In an ultra-cold, high-magnetic-field setting, ZrTe5 defies expectations by showing quantum heat oscillations. Researchers ...

In theory, as Earth spins through its magnetic field, any conductive material placed on its surface should experience a force ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...
