Each spring, millions of Bogong moths fly 1,000km south to the caves of the Australian Alps to escape the summer heat. Now we ...

The Bogong moth migrates 1,000 km, using stars in the Milky Way for navigation, a first for insects. They sense Earth's ...

Bogong moths use both Earth's magnetic field and the starry night sky to make twice-yearly migrations spanning hundreds of ...

Native to Australia, tiny Bogong moths travel hundreds of miles in an astonishing annual migration by using the starry night ...

A space physicist has suggested that a reversal of the Earth’s magnetic poles may have wiped out the Neanderthals.

Several bird species, in addition to humans, have demonstrated they can use the stars to navigate great distances. And while ...

Magnet-tipped, elastic rods can be steered by an external magnetic field to perform surgical tasks. Such rods could be useful for a range of new medical applications because they do not require either ...

Experimental section Materials All materials were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (MO) if not specified and were used without further purification or modification. Materials used for experiments included ...

Tested at BESSY II using a cobalt rod, they demonstrated the potential to supercharge magnetic sensors and imaging tools. This leap in field concentration could pave the way for more sensitive data ...

In the future, such microstructures could be used to generate much higher magnetic fields locally, which is also of interest for the experimental XPEEM station at BESSY II. 'Our experimental system is ...
