Scientists have confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections in the ...

The Unprecedented Speed of Past Reversals A study by geophysicists from UC Berkeley and their Italian and French colleagues has shed new light on Earth's last major magnetic reversal. Occurring ...

Now, a new study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, reveals loggerhead turtles, the most abundant sea turtle species nesting in the United States, learn the magnetic fields of specific ...

Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from solar radiation — and helps guide the migrations of many animals. Loggerhead ...

While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was before, raising questions about the planet's magnetic field. If the Earth's field is disrupted ...

The research presents mechanisms of how migratory species navigate using the magnetic field of the Earth. Sea turtles are renowned for their long-distance migrations and often return to feeding ...
