The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

Signals from the global navigation satellite system can be jammed and spoofed, so a Google spinout is working on an alternative positioning and navigation system that uses the Earth’s magnetic field.

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

In fact, the discovery actually supports a key part of the theory about how chorus waves work. Using data from the ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

“The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before,” William Brown, a global geomagnetic field modeler at the British Geological Survey, said in a statemen ...

A pair of physicists at the University of Crete has found that some types of biological magnetoreceptors used by various ...

The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other ...
