In a world heavily reliant on technology, a significant magnetic pole shift could potentially wreak havoc. Our modern lives are entwined with the functionality of satellites, GPS systems ...

NASA's EZIE will study auroral electrojets, powerful electrical currents in Earth's atmosphere. This will improve space ...

A research team led by Prof. Zhang Xin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

"The Laschamps Excursion was the last time the magnetic poles flipped," explained Chris Turney, co-lead author on a 2021 study investigating this transformative event. "They swapped places for ...

paleomagnetic records show that the intensity drops by up to 90 percent in the process of pole-switching. We should all feel grateful that we live in a time of magnetic stability, because the field ...

This map and an internal magnetic ‘compass’ rely on distinct mechanisms, implying that turtles have two magnetic senses. We developed a magnetic-coil system that could replicate the magnetic ...

It’s a simple magnetic ring attached to a non-magnetic finger ring that doubles as a kickstand. But what if both rings were magnetic? What if both of them were the same size? What if each of ...

Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from solar radiation — and helps guide the migrations of many animals. Loggerhead ...

According to Kinston Police Chief Keith Goyette, the officer was driving home after he completed a 12-hour shift. Chief Goyette said the officer fell asleep at the wheel, causing the crash. “Yes ...
