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

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

Solar, wind, and geothermal power have already transformed the way we produce electricity. Now, scientists are looking at an unexpected source—Earth’s rotation. If this concept proves viable, it could ...

In their study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, Christopher Chyba, Kevin Hand and Thomas Chyba tested a theory that electricity could be generated from the Earth's rotation ...

This cylinder was placed in a pitch black, windowless lab to minimise any interference from light, and angled in a way so it was at a 90 degree angle to Earth's rotation and magnetic field.

the researchers found — which is in the same ballpark as the amount the Moon's pull slows the Earth's rotation over the same period. Subscribe to our daily newsletter to keep in touch with the ...

Scientists have raised concerns that the Earth's inner core may completely halt its rotation by 2040, according to a recent paper published in Nature. The study suggests changes are occurring deep ...

A controversial new study has claimed that it is possible to generate electricity using the Earth's rotation, its magnetic field, and a surprisingly simple device. If replicated, that could be ...

Physicist Christopher Chaiba and his colleagues from the Princeton University laboratory have created a cylinder, capable of generating electricity from the Earth’s rotation and magnetic field.

That's how quickly Earth rotates on its axis, from West to East. And that rotation is largely responsible for the distribution of every desert, forest, and swamp on the planet. So, let's do a ...
