Nearly 200 years ago, a scientist named Michael Faraday tried experimenting to see whether Earth's magnetic field could help ...

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Physicists at NASA and Princeton generate electricity from the Earth's rotation: could wind energy be our energy source of ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors ...
