A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and memory.

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

Many species of birds use the Earth's magnetic field to select a direction of movement. However, until now it has not been possible to train birds to move in a certain direction in the laboratory, ...

Figure 1: Bilateral sectioning of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve does not affect magnetic compass orientation in European robins. The second alternative explanation is that cluster N ...

Earth's magnetic field appears to be able to change direction around 10 times faster than was previously thought, scientists have discovered. By recreating the last 100,000 years of the field's ...

Three-dimensional magnetic vortices have recently been discovered. Vortex states are potential antennas for the ultrafast, wireless data transmission of tomorrow. hree-dimensional magnetic vortices ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way to control magnets using flashes of light lasting less than a trillionth of a second. The approach triggers unusually large magnetic motion without direct contact ...

Three-dimensional magnetic vortices have been discovered by scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf in Germany together with colleagues from the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland ...
