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 experiments ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

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 nearly ...

Research carried out at the University of Pennsylvania has definitively measured and described the Brownian motion of an isolated ellipsoidal particle, completing a path laid out by Einstein 100 years ...

The rotating room facility of the Ashton Graybiel Spatial Orientation Laboratory at Brandeis University was designed for studying the influence of unusual force environments on human sensory-motor ...
