Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...

Bedrock Ocean has developed an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that runs for up to 12 hours off its lithium-ion batteries while mapping the floor using its sonar and magnetic sensors.

Unlike Earth, the Moon doesn't have much of a magnetic field – and yet, a strange pile of rocks on the far side seems mysteriously magnetized. A new study suggests that a major cataclysm, over ...

This combination of events could explain the presence of highly magnetic rocks detected in a region near the south pole, on the moon's far side. As it happens, one of the largest impact basins ...

In the new study, Narrett and associates took a different approach and assumed the Moon once had a dynamo that produced a weak lunar magnetic field. Given the size of the Moon's core, they estimated ...

Whenever scientists look for life in Earth’s most inhospitable nooks— acidic hot springs, suffocating subterranean chambers, and hundred-million-year-old rocks beneath the seafloor—they ...

Palaeomagnetism articles from across Nature Portfolio Palaeomagnetism is the study of past variations in the Earth’s magnetic field as reconstructed from the rock and archaeological records. In ...

Conventional geomagnetic field-based indoor positioning and localization techniques determine the user’s position by comparing the database with the geomagnetic field strength collected by the user.

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

Reconfigurable microrobotic swarms and controllable active matter systems have drawn extensive attention recently. Developing effective actuation strategies and control schemes that enable embodied ...

Astronomers say they have been stunned by the amount of energy released in a star explosion on the far side of our galaxy, 50,000 light-years away. The flash of radiation on 27 December was so ...
