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

Spectacular displays of the Northern Lights have been seen over recent nights with the potential for more to come.

American researchers have measured a tiny electrical voltage by exploiting Earth's magnetic field in the planet's rotational motion. This discovery, though modest, revives a scientific debate ...

The Northern Lights could be visible as far south as New York and Idaho tonight due to a "coronal hole" sending streams of ...

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

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

The effect known as 'Russell-McPherron' is down to the alignment of the Sun and Earth around the spring and autumn equinox ...

Experiments suggest that an unusual magnetic material can help harness energy from the planet’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

Pictures may enliven us, but other data, such as information about magnetic fields, add a huge amount to our understanding of ...

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

Thomas Stocker, a professor of Climate and Environmental Physics at the University of Bern, was the lead author of a 2024 article that argued for the necessity of a robust assessment of tipping points ...

Since its launch on March 12, 2015, NASA’s MMS, or Magnetospheric Multiscale, mission has been rewriting our understanding of magnetic reconnection, a key physical process that is important across the ...
