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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Understanding the Mystique of Magnetic Pole Shifts Magnetic pole shifts, a subject shrouded in both fascination and fear, ...

Physicists and engineers have developed a groundbreaking method to measure magnetic field orientation using atoms as tiny compasses. This advancement could enhance applications in quantum sensing, ...

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 ...

so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also constantly on the move. If you're using a compass or a GPS system, knowing exactly where these points are is crucial. "The ...

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 ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
