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

A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better memory-storage devices. Developed by RIKEN physicists, this technique could make ...

It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At most, Earth's magnetic field may have remained at 25 percent of its current ...

What is space weather, what causes it, and how does it affect humans? Physicist Robyn Millan, who co-chaired a recent ...

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous. They are generated by the Earth’s core. They are also produced by the electrical activity of the human brain. However, accurately measuring the direction of these ...

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...

The Swarm satellites, launched in 2013, carry sensitive magnetometers that can spot tiny variations in Earth's magnetic field caused by the tidal movements of the ocean. Earth's magnetic field is ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds and cosmic radiation. However, over the past century, scientists have ...
