Earth's magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, ...

In the coming years, an unprecedented number of people will leave planet Earth—but it’s becoming increasingly clear that deep ...

Mars may be our next great frontier, but it's not as welcoming as it seems. Without a thick atmosphere or magnetic field, the ...

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

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous. They are generated by the Earth’s core. They are also produced by the electrical activity of the human brain. However, accurately measuring the direction of these ...

A magnetic field is the effect we can see from the movement of charges or the spin of electrons. The fields themselves can be static or changing. A field diagram can be used to show the interactions ...

Charged particles will only experience a force in a magnetic field if they are moving. The direction of the force is both perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the ...

Abstract: As an important natural medium for human interaction with the external environment ... The fingertip position detection problem is transformed into an inverse magnetic field problem by using ...

The pace could be caused by a flashing magnetic field rather than pulsar rotation alone. Pulsars and “long-period radio transients” can pulse anywhere between once every 10 seconds and once ...

Instead, magnetic north is the changing location where the planet’s magnetic field lines converge. This field is generated by the churning of the planet’s outer core, a layer of molten iron ...
