WHEN the mean horizontal force of the earth's magnetism for each day of the year has been deduced from well-corrected observations of the bifilar magnetometer, and the results have been projected ...

The Earth's Magnetism The fact that the grains of ancient rocks are lined up like tiny compass needles has led to the astonishing conclusion that the earth's magnetic poles have wandered and ...

From smartphones to wind turbines, rare earth elements (REEs) are an essential part of the hardware in many advanced ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Electricity and magnetism were imprinted into our surroundings from the beginning. Five billion years ago when the new-born Earth was a hot plasma of swirling electrical currents, these flows ...

and its relation to the problem of the origin of the earth's magnetic field. As was pointed out by the late Prof. J. G. Koenigsberger 2, the occurrence of natural remanent magnetism of igneous ...

One of the many unseen forces to which you owe your existence is magnetism. If it weren’t for the magnetic field that surrounds our planet, blocking cosmic radiation and solar wind, Earth would likely ...

Superplumes near Earth's core may trigger volcanic eruptions, disrupt the magnetic field, and even cause pole reversals, ...

Magnetism is due to the magnetic fields around magnets. The fields can be investigated by looking at the effects of the forces they exert on other magnets and magnetic materials. Electromagnets ...

Animal magnetism One of the first concrete signs ... Clearly they were acting on something invisible, and Fromme deduced it must be the Earth's magnetic field. Numerous experiments undertaken ...
