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.

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

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 ...

This new model updates the location of magnetic north while also providing improved navigation for technologies reliant on Earth’s magnetic field. Updated every five years, scientists have confirmed ...

Scientists from 19 international institutions release a complementary magnetic model called the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF), which is also updated every five years.

Our phones have already adjusted to the latest shift in the Earth's magnetic pole position, which appears to be constantly ...

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, as the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially ...
