Which magnetic bookmarks are best? Is your bookmark always falling out of your current read? Then it might be time to upgrade from using a paper bookmark to a magnetic one. Magnetic bookmarks work ...

Imagine crossing vast oceans, soaring across continents, or tunneling deep beneath the earth—without ever getting lost. For some animals, this isn’t just a fantasy, but a daily reality. They possess ...

“A large number of magnetic sensors, like superconducting quantum interference devices, optical pumping, and nitrogen vacancy magnetometers, were shown to satisfy the energy resolution limit ...

Animal magnetism One of the first concrete signs that animals can tap into the magnetic field was observed, as in many a great discovery in science, by chance.

How some animals use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate Magnetoreception helps them locate themselves, which is vital for turtles and songbirds alike ...

A researcher may help answer why some animals have a magnetic 'sixth' sense, such as sea turtles' ability to return to the beach where they were born. The researchers proposes that the magnetic ...

The secrets behind magnetoreception—that is, the ability of some animals to sense Earth's magnetic field—are beginning to gradually unravel, thanks in part to a new study that demonstrates ...

One of the most remarkable “sixth” senses in the animal kingdom is magnetoreception – the ability to detect magnetic fields – but exactly how it works remains a mystery. Now, researchers ...

A migrating robin can keep a straight course even when it flies through a cloudy night sky, devoid of obvious landmarks. That’s because it can sense the Earth’s magnetic field. Something in ...

Life Animal superpowers: How we're homing in on their magnetic satnav Mice, turtles and lobsters do it, even fruit flies do it. They find their way across the globe by sensing magnetic fields ...

Loggerhead sea turtles can return to the beach where they were born using the Earth's magnetic field as a guide, a new study says.

A new study suggests sharks use the magnetic field to orient themselves on long migrations. They're far from the only animals with that sixth sense.
