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

Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.

NOAA predicts a G1 geomagnetic storm, leading to potential aurora displays by Friday. States like Idaho, Montana, and Alaska ...

Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

Loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are pretty loyal marine reptiles. Even with their roughly 8,000-mile-long ...

A pair of physicists at the University of Crete has found that some types of biological magnetoreceptors used by various ...

Researchers at CU Boulder have created a new type of magnetic field sensor using atoms, offering increased precision.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

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 ...
