This coil, when activated, generates a precise magnetic field that stimulates specific brain regions. “The magnetic field generated by the coil is approximately 500 milliTesla (mT), about 10 ...

Scientists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have unveiled a groundbreaking computer code, QUADCOIL, that ...

Sea turtles are capable of creating GPS-like magnetic maps to guide them back to foraging grounds, and they do a little dance when they recognize those spots ...

For the experiment, the scientists put young loggerhead turtles in a tank surrounded by a magnetic coil that replicated the magnetic field of the Atlantic Ocean. Every day over two months, the ...

As you may recall from Physics 101, a changing magnetic field (like when you slide a bar magnet through a copper coil) induces an electric current. At planetary scale, Earth’s magnetic field induces ...

Faraday also observed that it was more efficient if the coil was wound around a metal core, as this helped to concentrate the magnetic field.

Previous turtle experiments have used magnetic intensities with at least a 2,000-nanotesla field difference ... the Atlantic Ocean and developed a coil system to produce fields between 2,000 ...
