Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth’s magnetic field to create a personal map of their favorite spots, scientists said Wednesday. Some animals that migrate ...

A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

What’s more, Webb used its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument to observe glowing interstellar gas and dust illuminated ...

Physicists and engineers have developed a groundbreaking method to measure magnetic field orientation using atoms as tiny ...

It’s all too easy to be swept up in the momentum of those around us rather than pausing to develop our own values ...

so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also constantly on the move. If you're using a compass or a GPS system, knowing exactly where these points are is crucial. "The ...

"Ferromagnetism, where the magnetic moments, which you can picture like small compass arrows on the atomic scale, all point in the same direction. And antiferromagnetism, where the neighboring ...

This has enabled the mission's instruments—the satellites carry state-of-the-art sensors including magnetometers that measure the strength, magnitude and direction of the magnetic field—to ...

Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and is continuing to drift toward ...
