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

A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic ...

It looked still to you before because you were moving with it. We have this same problem with electric and magnetic fields. Depending on your reference frame, what appears to be a magnetic force ...

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

When an electric current passes through a metal wire, a magnetic field forms around that wire (see diagram at right). Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current ...

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 ...

One promising solution comes from an unusual effect called nonreciprocal electronic transport, where electric ... controlled the magnetic structure using external magnetic fields, which in turn ...

“The electric and magnetic fields at a material’s atomic level determine its bulk properties and behavior, and are an essential area of research,” says Toshiaki Tanigaki, a senior researcher ...

When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet. The field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform. The small magnetic field caused by ...

A twist you'll never see coming: a breakthrough in understanding the relationship between chirality and electric ... controlled the magnetic structure using external magnetic fields, which in ...
