This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and more.

Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.

Loggerhead sea turtles do an excited "turtle dance" when anticipating food. It's adorable, of course, but it has also allowed ...

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

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

Loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are pretty loyal marine reptiles. Even with their roughly 8,000-mile-long ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement ... “You can think of each atom as a compass needle,” explained ...

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 ...

Sir James Clark Ross discovered magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada. British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an ...

"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 ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Data from ESA's Swarm mission reveals that Earth's ocean tides generate faint magnetic signatures detectable from space. These signals can provide insights into ...

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 ...
