For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity.

American researchers have measured a tiny electrical voltage by exploiting Earth's magnetic field in the planet's rotational motion. This discovery, though modest, revives a scientific debate ...

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 pretty ...

Christopher Chyba held a hollow, dark cylinder made of manganese, zinc, and iron in his Princeton lab, looking skeptically at ...

you’be seen Michael Faraday’s 1836 invention in action. Yet despite being such a well known device, the average hacker still doesn’t have one in their arsenal. But why? It could be that ...

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

This week we celebrated the anniversary of the birth of Michael Faraday, perhaps one of the most prolific and influential scientists who ever lived, and whose ground-breaking research into the ...

Michael Faraday, born on this day in 1791, is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists in history, known for his groundbreaking discoveries in electromagnetism, electrochemistry ...

Michael Faraday made the induction ring in his laboratory in the basement of the Royal Institution in August 1831. It's made up of: two long pieces of copper wire, insulated by cotton thread and ...

DICK:'So who is today's genius?' DOM:Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Michael Faraday. MICHAEL FARADAY:You alright? DOM:'Faraday was fascinated by electricity but what is it?' DICK:'Electricity ...
