A research team led by Dr. Shen Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

This will create a magnetic field, and other wires with electric current will experience a magnetic force. Imagine you have two parallel wires carrying electric current in the same direction.

The magnetic field then induces electric currents which in turn generate their own magnetic field which induces more electric currents, in a positive feedback loop.

"If the effect is real and scaling behaves the way our equations say, then the possibility becomes real," Chyba told Newsweek ...

In all cases, the plastic strain fields are observed to exhibit right-handed screw rotation along the dislocation line (the z-axis in the diagram). Furthermore, this characteristic aligns perfectly ...

This would create differences in the amount of electrical current from place to place, which, through the laws of electromagnetism, would naturally give rise to a magnetic field. Related Stories: ...

But “for the part of the spectrum in between static electric and magnetic fields and infrared radiation, the generic term ‘electromagnetic fields’ is common,” it explains. That’s quite a ...

A U.S. map shows electrical currents in the ground at about 4:40 p.m. ET Thursday, when a geomagnetic storm hit G4 levels. These currents can lead to damage to the electrical grid.
