Scientists in Britain have been keeping an eye on where the Earth's magnetic north pole is. It's not fixed like the geographical North Pole; instead, it's like a wandering star. Recently, they found ...

which keeps the liquid metal moving through the magnetic field. The so-called Coriolis force also plays a role in sustaining the geomagnetic dynamo. Our planet's spinning motion causes the moving ...

Earth's magnetic field is generated by mixing of the molten iron in the fluid outer core, driven by changes in density as as the inner core slowly solidifies, which creates a dynamo effect.

The best answer at present is that the slow flow of matter in its fluid core generates electric currents, which in turn set up a magnetic field By Walter M. Elsasser Join Our Community of Science ...

One of the key areas of investigation is the sustainability of Earth's magnetic dynamo, which has been operational for over 3.4 billion years. Researchers have explored different mechanisms that ...

magnetic dynamo processes by which magnetic fields are generated in the laboratory and astrophysical plasmas; (3) mechanisms by which energy is transferred between fields, flows, and particles; and (4 ...

In a paper published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers modeled the cooling and magnetization of Martian ...

Theoretical and computational astrophysics, including solar and stellar convection, magnetic dynamo action within stars, turbulence in many settings, and helioseismology. Central to this is ...

But it would be large enough that other astrophysical processes, like mixing and dynamo amplification, could latch on to that seed field and generate the magnetic fields we see today. This is only ...

The Dynamo's name begins ... between the ends of an electrical conductor that moves perpendicular to a magnetic field. He then built the first electromagnetic generator, called the Faraday ...
