A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

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 ...

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

Reader Jayant Bhalerao, a college physics instructor, found the story useful in class: “We will share it with our students, so that they can appreciate how ...

Chorus waves are electromagnetic oscillations traveling along the Earth's magnetic field lines. When converted into sound, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Analyzer for Cusp Electrons (ACE) is designed to measure electron activity in the region of the northern magnetospheric ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the ...

As we near the spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, on March 20, the Earth's magnetic field and solar wind align, creating an increased chance of seeing the colorful auroras in the ...
