In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping ...

For over half a century, scientists suspected a quiet but powerful electric field might be influencing Earth’s upper ...

According to scientists, this ambipolar electric field is thought to be just as crucial to Earth as both gravity and ...

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

Nearly two centuries after Faraday's failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

"Our analysis of cattle at localities with naturally high positive and negative declinations clearly provides the crucial proof in favor of the Earth's magnetic field being the responsive cue." ...

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

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, builds on work the team conducted back in 2016 and an idea ...

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 ...

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 ...
