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

In a nutshell Scientists discovered sea turtles can learn and remember specific magnetic field signatures of geographic ...

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

USC scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the nature of the Earth's enigmatic inner core, revealing for the ...

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

There are trillions of charged particles—protons and electrons, the basic building blocks of matter—whizzing around above ...

More specifically, the magnetic field power spectra density from the EMFISIS instrument onboard the RBSP satellite allows the identification of hiss waves in the plasmasphere, when the satellite is at ...

NASA has announced that a large asteroid, estimated to be larger than a football field, is travelling towards Earth at high speed. Calculations indicate a higher-than-average chance of the asteroid ...

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous. They are generated by the Earth’s core. They are also produced by the electrical activity of the human brain. However, accurately measuring the direction of these ...

Auroras occur when solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field. The charged particles ... consider using a space weather app tailored to your location. One app I recommend is "My Aurora ...

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 ...

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 ...
