"It is a surprising result in a surprising region, and it prompts further investigation of chorus waves in regions in which Earth's magnetic field deviates substantially from a dipole." Scientists ...

We know this thanks to instruments on satellites that have explored both the intensity and direction of Earth’s magnetic ...

Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that ... Moreover, Kirschvink notes that even if the main dipole field were to collapse—an event that can last for up ...

The magnetosomes are aligned in a chain-like fashion, which impart a magnetic dipole to the bacterial cell and allows the cells to "sense" Earth's geomagnetic field (Gorby et al. 1988).

Typically, chorus waves are observed around 51,000 kilometres (32,000 miles) from Earth, where the magnetic field behaves in a predictable dipole pattern—much like a bar magnet. However ...

Earth’s magnetic poles are constantly on the move, but they haven’t drifted far enough to actually flip in the modern age. Researchers know that Earth’s poles have flipped in the past ...

But never fear — this shape-shifting won’t directly affect life on Earth. Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from ...

Ferromagnetism is a form of magnetic ordering in which the intrinsic magnetic dipole moment ... are essential for energy conversion, but rare earth dependence and brittleness limit their use.
