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 ...

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

S cientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field ...

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 ...

We have this same problem with electric and magnetic fields. Depending on your reference ... on the motion of the observer—“it’s all relative.” If you measure the speed of a train from ...

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

In theory, when the Earth rotates due to its own magnetic field, any electrically conductive material on its surface should feel the force that moves electrons, creating an electric current. However, ...

Creatures from migratory eels and other fish species to insects to birds tap into the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, sometimes many thousands of miles. But so far, evidence has been scant for any ...
