Surprising differences in the two so-called Large Low-Velocity Provinces may risk instability in Earth's protective magnetic field.

A trio of US researchers claim to have successfully tested predictions that it's possible to harvest clean energy from the ...

Satellites passing through this area often experience malfunctions, with systems crashing, data corruption, and equipment ...

The liquid inner core churned as it released heat into the cooler mantle, moving molten iron around the core and enabling Earth’s magnetic field to exist. By the Ediacaran, this difference in ...

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

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...

Earth's core contains liquid iron which moves around. Iron is magnetic so the liquid iron causes Earth to have a magnetic field. The needle of a compass is a small magnet that can turn.

Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny ...
