Eurasian reed warblers don’t just get a sense of direction from Earth’s magnetic field – they can also calculate their ...

A trio of physicists, two with Coventry University, in the U.K., and the third with Laboratoire National des Champs ...

The magnetic field that cocoons Earth, shielding us from the sun’s most dangerous rays, has not always been so stable. About 41,000 years ago, that protective field weakened to a mere flicker of ...

Between 635 to 541 million years ago, during the Ediacaran Period, Earth witnessed a remarkable emergence of early life.

Moreover, the magnetic field's intensity in the southern hemisphere was ten times weaker than in the north. This kind of ...

The Earth's magnetic field is essential to life as we know it. But it’s something we can never see – or hear, until now. In a recent study released on Oct. 10 by the European Space Agency ...

Scientists in China claimed that the magnetic shield over North America is weakening rapidly. The geomagnetic field, a kind ...

Combining the satellite data with evidence of magnetic field line movements on Earth, European geoscientists mapped the so-called Laschamps event and represented it using natural noises like the ...

A planetary magnetic field is produced by a geodynamo effect deep inside a planet. A planet like Earth has an iron-nickel ...

Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process in plasmas, through which the magnetic energy is converted into ...

A new Harvard study suggests that Mars’ protective magnetic field may have lasted hundreds of millions of years longer than ...
