Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

Check your compass again – Earth’s north ... electrically conductive iron gives rise to our planet’s magnetic field. “The (core’s) fluid itself flows as easily as water does on the ...

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 ...

"Ferromagnetism, where the magnetic moments, which you can picture like small compass arrows on the atomic scale, all point in the same direction. And antiferromagnetism, where the neighboring ...

As the fluid dynamics of the core change, the magnetic pole shifts over time in a process known as the geodynamo. Now, something unusual seems to be happening. “The current behavior of magnetic north ...

Sir James Clark Ross discovered magnetic north pole in 1831 in northern Canada. British scientists have recently revealed that Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting towards Russia at an ...

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 have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is now closer to Siberia than it was five years ago and is continuing to drift toward ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Data from ESA's Swarm mission reveals that Earth's ocean tides generate faint magnetic signatures detectable from space. These signals can provide insights into ...
