In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping ...

For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity. The idea was first tested by Michael Faraday in 1832, but his ...

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.

Scientists successfully generate electricity from Earth's rotation in groundbreaking experiment, potentially opening a new ...
