Loggerhead turtles navigate using magnetic fields, and new research has revealed more about this remarkable ability.

Even in the fuzzy, probabilistic world of quantum physics, though, there’s a limit on how small you can go. Both ...

A pair of physicists at the University of Crete has found that some types of biological magnetoreceptors used by various ...

It took 250 years for the Laschamps reversal to take place and it stayed in the unusual orientation for about 440 years. At most, Earth's magnetic field may have remained at 25 percent of its current ...

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not ...
