NOAA scientists have spent decades tracking how magnetic north wanders, but recent modeling shows a pole moving in ways earlier maps did not suggest. Instead of drifting slowly around the Canadian ...

For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...

High magnetic fields are a vital tool in many areas of science and technology that impact our everyday lives, from medical diagnostics through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to drug discovery ...

Researchers have identified a period of sluggish magnetic field flipping for planet Earth, some 40 million years ago – ...

RIKEN physicists have found a magnetic material that converts heat into electricity with high efficiency, making it promising for use in energy-harvesting devices. The work is published in the journal ...

Migrating birds stay on track because of chemical reactions in their bodies that are influenced by the Earth’s magnetic field, a UC Irvine-led team of researchers has found. Migrating birds stay on ...
