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.

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 ...

Scientists are astounded by Earth's magnetic field. It Is Shifting Toward Siberia and Raising Questions About Unusual ...

Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new ...

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

For the first time astronomers have succeeded in observing the magnetic field around a young star where planets are thought ...

Earth's magnetic north pole is on the move, prompting updates to the World Magnetic Model (WMM). This crucial tool for ...

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 ...
