A new model uncovers how Earth’s liquid core has sustained its magnetic field since the planet’s beginnings, offering new ...

For desert ants, Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass: It may also sculpt their brains. Stepping outside their nest for the first time, young ants need to learn how to forage. The ants train ...

How the universe got its large magnetic fields has remained one of the stickiest outstanding problems in astrophysics. Now, researchers have proposed a novel solution: a giant "dust battery" operating ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it encompasses both the intrinsic spin of particles and their orbital motion ...

To their surprise, when the model was allowed to run under these conditions, a tachocline emerged on its own. Even more revealing, the simulations showed that the magnetic fields produced in the ...

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 ...

Scientists create magnetic nanowire catalyst that boosts oxygen evolution, a key step in hydrogen production from water. (Nanowerk News) As the world looks for cleaner ways to produce energy, green ...
