A research team led by Dr. Shen Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated rapid spatiotemporal vertical electric currents (VECs) ...

Did you know Earth's magnetic field is on the move? Recent studies reveal it's shifting at an astonishing rate—10 times ...

Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released study.

Neanderthals have long been the subject of intense scientific debate. This is largely because we still lack clear answers to ...

The salmon’s ability to detect minute changes in magnetic field strength and inclination angle allows them to maintain their course across vast, featureless expanses of ocean before switching to ...

Earth’s magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron in our planet’s outer core, creating a vast magnetic bubble that surrounds the Earth and extends far into space. This field has two ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.

Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be using it in a different way.

The experts focused on whether the ants detect the geomagnetic field’s inclination or polarity. This research builds on Fleischmann’s 2018 doctoral discovery that desert ants have a magnetic ...
