S cientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field ...

The Earth's magnetic field shields life from harmful solar and cosmic radiation. A weakening field could increase genetic mutations, potentially raising cancer rates. Additionally, a reversal ...

A new study deepens understanding of magnetic field behavior recently discovered by NASA in Earth’s magnetosphere.

Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current within the wire. This is the basic principle that allows electric motors and generators to operate. In the Earth (see ...

Geophysicist Daniel Lathrop wants, among other things, to use it to predict when the Earth’s magnetic field will next reverse. Over the course of our planet’s history, the field has flipped ...

The compass needle points in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field, or the magnetic field of a magnet. place the plotting compass near the magnet on a piece of paper mark the direction the ...

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 ...

Their analysis showed the complex magnetic field can determine increases in module fill factor and falls in maximum power. Researchers at the Multimedia University of Kenya have claimed the Earth ...

Iron is magnetic so the liquid iron causes Earth to have a magnetic field. The needle of a compass is a small magnet that can turn. It turns around until its own magnetic field lines up with the ...
