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 ...

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 ...

Using centuries old equations of fluid motion, supercomputers can be used to simulate turbulent flow in fine detail. But theoretical physicists are still unsure as to how these equations actually work ...

Although we’re living in the twenty-first century, there are still many dangers in our workplaces. For certain industries, such as the construction, manufacturing and industrial industries, the risks ...
