NASA monitors the South Atlantic Anomaly, a growing magnetic field disturbance affecting satellites and spacecraft.

Iron particles effectively act as tiny magnets that can record both magnetic field strength and direction when the process of crystallization locks them in place. The researchers found that rocks ...

Though you might think that compasses will always point towards the geographic north pole, the magnetic and geographic poles ...

Scientists have recently identified a particle known as the Dirac semi-fermion, exhibiting behavior that defies expectations.

Scientists have imaged and fine-tuned a new type of magnetic material far beyond the souveniers you'll find stuck on your ...

The scientists part from the premise that animals with a particle-based magnetic sense are sensitive to the north-south direction of the geomagnetic field, in other words its "polarity," whereas ...
