A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...

Nearly two centuries after Faraday's failed attempts, scientists have demonstrated that Earth's continuous spin can directly ...

It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak nuclear, gravity, electric, and magnetic. “Doing physics,” then ...

This one-way electric flow, known as rectification, directly reflects the chirality of the material and could serve as a way to "read" magnetic information. "If we can find a way to accurately use ...

A team of scientists in South Korea has developed a new way to make high-performance permanent magnets without using costly ...
