While people go about their daily routines, the planet is in perpetual motion, rotating through its own magnetic field. A new ...

A new study reports that researchers have successfully used a meticulously designed cylinder to harness electricity as it passed through Earth’s magnetic field.

According to scientists, this ambipolar electric field is thought to be just as crucial to Earth as both gravity and magnetism.

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

For over half a century, scientists suspected a quiet but powerful electric field might be influencing Earth’s upper ...

A trio of US researchers claim to have successfully tested predictions that it's possible to harvest clean energy from the natural rhythms and processes of our planet, generating electricity as Earth ...

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping ...

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 ...

That made it perpendicular to both the Earth's rotational motion and the Earth's magnetic field. Next ... strongly suggesting that it was due to the energy from the Earth's rotation.

The more mass an object has, the greater its gravitational field will be. For example, the Earth has a greater gravitational field than the Moon because it has a much greater mass than the Moon.

The field gives hydrogen ions enough energy to overcome Earth’s gravity and escape into space. These ions make up most of the polar wind, and without this gentle lift, many wouldn’t leave the ...
