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

Data collected from a once-defunct NASA satellite show that Earth grew two extra radiation belts following a supercharged ...

The temporary belts, one of which still remains, were filled with high-energy electrons and protons and were found by a ...

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

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...

It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At most, Earth's magnetic field may have remained at 25 percent of its current ...

A new study out this week said that the Earth's inner core is less solid than previously thought. Scientists still have ...

A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

Researchers studying decades of earthquake data say they have found the first evidence that, in addition to spinning backward ...

Radiation belts are a normal part of the architecture of a planet with a global magnetic field. Stars are constantly leaking particles, borne by a stellar wind; these stream out and, where they ...

An international team of scientists has modeled the formation and evolution of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe.

Geomagnetic storms also cause problems on Earth. The electric currents they create can overload power plants and cause ...
