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

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 cylinder was placed in a pitch-black lab at a 90-degree angle to Earth’s rotation, allowing the planet’s motion itself to create a small but measurable electric current. A recorded 19 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As ice sheets melt and ocean mass gets redistributed around the planet, Earth's geographic North and South poles could shift up to 89 feet (27 meters) by 2100 as the planet's axis of rotation ...
