Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ...

The magnetic south pole is moving far slower than the north. In general Earth’s magnetic field is getting weaker, leading scientists to say that it will eventually flip, where north and south ...

Try to break apart a magnet's north and south ends, and each half gets its own fresh set of two poles. Scientists have long hunted for a lone north or south pole—an individual particle carrying ...

And there's the magnetic North Pole, which is always on the move. And right now it's moving faster than usual. Over the past 150 years, the magnetic North Pole has casually wandered 685 miles ...

We've always been told that magnets have two poles, north and south. But theory suggests there should be something called a magnetic monopole, a magnet that has either a north pole or a south pole ...

According to USA Today, the magnetic North Pole is not only moving, it's moving quickly.British scientists have been tracking the change, and they've discovered that the pole has been making a ...

WASHINGTON — True north isn't quite where it used to be. Earth's north magnetic pole has been drifting so fast in the last few decades that scientists that past estimates are no longer accurate ...

The south magnetic pole is also moving, though at a much slower rate (10-15km a year). This rapid wandering of the north magnetic pole has caused some problems for scientists and navigators alike.

British explorer Sir James Clark Ross discovered the magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada, approximately 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) south of the true North Pole.

While the magnetic north pole is on the move, the south magnetic pole is comparatively static. It’s moving northward, but at only about five to 10 kilometers per year, with hardly any movement ...

The magnetic north pole is wandering about 34 miles (55 kilometers) a year. It crossed the international date line in 2017, and is leaving the Canadian Arctic on its way to Siberia.
