Scientists discovered tiny jets on the Sun that power both fast and slow solar wind. These jets eject particles and shape ...

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

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

Britons have been treated to a rare light show this week as the Northern Lights spread ribbons of green and blue across the sky. Usually, the aurora borealis can only be seen in the auroral oval – a ...

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

A team of geologists and mineral physicists at Harvard University, the University of California, Argonne National Laboratory ...

Understanding the Mystique of Magnetic Pole Shifts Magnetic pole shifts, a subject shrouded in both fascination and fear, ...

Earth’s inner core is changing shape, scientists have found.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

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 ...

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 ...
