Astrophysicist and artist Ed Belbruno explains how art helps scientists communicate their work to the public and even ...

According to scientists, this ambipolar electric field is thought to be just as crucial to Earth as both gravity and ...

While we go about our days the Earth is constantly rotating through its own magnetic field. Now, experts claim it is possible ...

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

Magnetic devices are components for creating, manipulating or detecting magnetic fields. This can include magnetic memories, magnetometers and devices for magneto-optics. Magnetism can also play a ...

Driving Earth’s tectonic plate movement and powering its magnetic field requires an immense amount of power. The energy is derived from the center of the Earth, but scientists are certain the ...

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 ...

SOME preliminary results have been obtained from an investigation being undertaken at College, Alaska, concerning the correspondence of the Earth's magnetic field micropulsations 1 with pulsating ...

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an instability of our planet's magnetic field. The two odd formations – one ...

The moving metals in Earth's core create the planet's magnetic field. Our planet sits in a small corner of the Milky Way galaxy, 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's center. Our solar system lives ...

Among the many wonders of the animal kingdom is the ability of certain species to navigate vast distances using the Earth’s magnetic field. This seemingly magical ability is not just a tale from a ...
