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 ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

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

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

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

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

Now, though, a controversial new paper warns that falling space junk could actually weaken Earth’s magnetic field. If that happens ... could settle in the upper part of the ionosphere, where ...
