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 ...

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

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 compass needle points in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, or the magnetic field of a magnet. place the plotting compass near the magnet on a piece of paper mark the direction the ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was before, raising questions about the planet's magnetic field. If the Earth's field is disrupted ...

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 ...
