As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

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

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

Earth’s magnetic field is detected by species across the animal kingdom, but new research suggests that sea turtles may be ...

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 ...

Satellites have managed to detect faint electromagnetic signals generated by ocean tides, suggesting that space-born sensors ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to ...

“The current behaviour of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before,” William Brown, a global geomagnetic field modeler at the British Geological Survey, said in a statemen ...

“The way the model is built, our forecast is mostly an extrapolation given our current knowledge of the Earth’s magnetic field.” The scientists released two models on December 17: the ...

As the sun's magnetic field shifts, the "current sheet" — a sprawling surface that radiates billions of miles outward from the sun's equator — becomes very wavy, providing a better barrier ...
