Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Imagine not having to pay your electricity bills because a gigantic magnet surrounding the Earth produced power. Well, Earth indeed has a magnet like this, which is its magnetic field. When the fiery ...

Ames Laboratory scientists discovered magnetic interactions that could be the key to customizing how electrons flow through special materials. The results could impact future technological ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

Scientists have created flexible composite material on the base of polymers and nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite, that is able to transform magnetic fields into electric tension. Such transformation ...

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...
