Earth’s magnetic field and rotation are producing electricity — just not how anyone expected

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Because moving charges generate magnetic fields, I would think that a neutron star’s axis of rotation and axis of the magnetic field would line up; Why don’t they?

A neutron star is the extremely compressed leftover core of a star that began life with between 10 and 30 times the Sun’s mass. Moving charges do generate magnetic fields, as you suggest; however, the ...
