Physicist Suchitra Sebastian may have discovered a new state of matter. But the hardest part was convincing the doubters.

That’s why many experts believe sharks navigate by sensing Earth’s magnetic field, perhaps using the same electromagnetic sensory organs that help them track down prey.

The moon may be silent and still today, but billions of years ago, it likely crackled with magnetic activity. Though the moon now lacks a global magnetic field, its rocks—especially those on the ...

Did ancient sunscreen and sewing needles save humanity? In a nutshell 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field weakened to just 10% of its current strength, causing auroras to appear globally ...

The turtles rely on Earth’s magnetic field to help them navigate in two ways. A magnetic map aids with location tracking, and a magnetic compass orients them in the right direction.

Through advanced seismic analysis, they found deformations up to 100 meters in height. This discovery provides new insights into the inner core’s dynamics and its impact on Earth's magnetic field.

Earth’s core is transforming, which could affect the length of our 24-hour day, Earth’s magnetic field, and more ...
