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 ...

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 ...

Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon ...

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

Ames Laboratory scientists discovered magnetic interactions that could be the key to customizing how electrons flow through special materials. The results could impact future technological ...

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

Scientists have created flexible composite material on the base of polymers and nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite, that is able to transform magnetic fields into electric tension. Such transformation ...

UD researchers develop optical method to detect magnetic behavior of antiferromagnets, paving the way for advanced computing ...
