Scientists at NASA are closely monitoring a vast region of weakened magnetic intensity—known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA)—due to the unique challenges it poses for satellites. From South ...
The universe's first magnetic fields may have been much weaker than we first imagined — and were roughly equivalent to the strength of the magnetic activity within the human brain, according to a new ...
A microscopic magnetite fossil (left) discovered in sediment below the North Atlantic, seen using X-ray microscopy; the fossil?s magnetic configuration, with magnetic moments swirling around a central ...
Imagine waking up one morning to find your compass pointing in a completely different direction than the day before. That's essentially what's happening on a planetary scale as Earth's magnetic north ...
Thousands of years ago, Earth’s magnetic field underwent a significant power surge over a part of the planet that included the ancient kingdom of Mesopotamia. People at the time probably never even ...
Researchers deploy an array of microscopic coils to create a magnetic field and stimulate individual neurons. The magnetic field can induce an electric field in any nearby neurons, the same effect ...
(Reuters) -Microscopic magnetic fossils found in North Atlantic seafloor sediments may represent components of an internal "GPS system" for an ancient marine creature that used Earth's magnetic field ...
Fossils are 50 times smaller than the width of a hair New study shows they could help an organism navigate Eels are one possibility and microbes are another Nov 17 (Reuters) - Microscopic magnetic ...
