Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within the Milky Way using a technique called Faraday rotation. It works like ...

The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

“Global mapping of the coronal magnetic field has been a big missing part in the study of the Sun,” Zihao Yang, a study co-author from Peking University in China and a postdoctoral fellow at ...

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in ...

Instead of focusing on sensor readings at specific points, their magnetoreceptor captures electrical resistance information ...

The final Fermilab measurement is (116592070.5 ± 11.4  (stat.) ± 9.1 (syst.) ± 2.1  (ext.)) × 10 –11, fully consistent with ...

Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favourite spots, scientists said Wednesday. Some animals that migrate ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations. CNN values your feedback 1.

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...

Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map. Eurasian reed warblers ...

For the first time, scientists have imaged the elusive south pole of the sun. The images captured by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft reveal our star's magnetic field is a powder keg ready to blow.
