The way a key cellular motor works at an atomic level has been uncovered by simulations conducted by RIKEN biophysicists.

A collaboration of researchers in France, Japan and the United States have developed a new nanosized propeller which can act as gears. This propeller, when bound to a gold surface, can be activated ...

Using the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), an international team of astronomers have detected very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-rays around the pulsar PSR J0248+6021, which may be the ...

In a controversial experiment, a team of physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth's rotational energy to generate electricity. It's a deceptively simple idea that researchers have ...

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 ...

In brief: A team of physicists believe it may be possible to harvest electricity using Earth's rotation through its own magnetic field, and they've published a paper involving a test that appears to ...
