Beijing has suspended exports of certain rare earth minerals and magnets that are crucial for the world’s car, semiconductor ...

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

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

So the thinking at the time was that perhaps Earth's movement through it could generate power. But Faraday's experiments were a resounding failure and a few years later, physicists worked out why. Any ...

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

In theory, the device would work in a similar fashion to an electrical power station, in which passing a conductor through a magnetic field causes electrons to move, creating a current. As Earth ...

In an experiment, a team of physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth's rotational energy to generate electricity. It's a deceivingly simple idea that researchers are only starting to ...

a weak conductor, which served as a magnetic shield. They then oriented the cylinder in a north-south direction set at a 57° angle. That made it perpendicular to both the Earth's rotational ...

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 controversial experiment, a team of physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth's rotational energy ... of a weak manganese-zinc ferrite conductor and electrodes at each ...
