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

Supernova debris speeds up neutron stars, strengthening magnetic fields. This explains why low-intensity magnetars still produce bursts.

A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better ...

Every few hundred thousand years, Earth’s magnetic poles flip, turning north into south and south into north. These ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They have developed a new technique that uses atoms as highly precise ...

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, as the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially being changed, continuing its shift away from Canada and towards Siberia.

the magnetic north pole of the planet is decided by Earth's magnetic field, which is constantly moving and never static. Scientists noted that over the past few years, the movement of the magnetic ...

Swarm is a constellation of three satellites that study Earth's geomagnetic field. This magnetic field that extends from Earth's interior into space is thought to be produced largely by an ocean ...
