For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

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 ...

Superionic water—the hot, black and strangely conductive form of ice that exists in the center of distant planets—was ...

As an electromagnetic radiation phenomenon, it’s perhaps not so surprising that light is affected by a magnetic field. This ...

A Korean research team has developed a technology that can collect the magnetic field formed around power transmission lines and convert it into electricity. The plan is to apply it to devices that ...

Underwater wireless power transfer is emerging as a key technology for enabling long-duration, maintenance-free operation of ...

Simulations and satellite data reveal that Earth's magnetic field is more complex than scientists had thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

One of Earth's defining features is its magnetic field. It forms a protective shield against high-energy particles ejected by the Sun and thus arguably has provided life with a safer place to grow ...
