For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to geothermal heat. Now a small group of physicists says Earth’s own magnetic ...

Earth’s magnetic field nearly collapsed long ago. What saved it explains why life survived and why the planet remains ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven by dynamic processes deep within the planet’s core. Drawing on 11 years of ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have shown that careful engineering of materials interfaces can unlock new applications for ...
