Researchers taught young loggerhead turtles to associate certain magnetic fields with feeding, prompting a distinctive dance ...

Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

The Magnetic Shield That Protects Our Climate Earth is surrounded by an immense magnetic field, called the magnetosphere.

Loggerhead hatchlings travel thousands of miles guided by an astonishing built-in navigation system that uses the Earth’s magnetic field. Scientists trained young turtles to “dance” in response to ...

Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for things like turbines we use to ...

For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do.

Military leaders have been warning of the fragility of GPS for years and researchers have been working on a variety of solutions, from quantum clocks to inertial navigation. The Air Force is adding a ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...

The U.S. Air Force, concerned that adversaries might target its fleet of GPS satellites in wartime, is looking into Earth’s magnetic field as an alternative, according to Defense One.Accurate and ...

In a recent study published in the journal Science Robotics, a team of researchers created a magnetic microrobot probe that can quantify the stiffness and traction force of tumor cell colonies and ...
