Sea turtles navigate using Earth's magnetic field like a GPS. Scientists found they learn and remember magnetic locations.

A new trick for illuminating the internal ordering within a special type of magnet could help engineers build better memory-storage devices. Developed by RIKEN physicists, this technique could make ...

A new study from researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides the first empirical evidence that ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.

Loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are pretty loyal marine reptiles. Even with their roughly 8,000-mile-long ...

The team achieved a high degree of accuracy in their experiments. They were able to determine the orientation of a magnetic field to an accuracy of nearly one-hundredth of a degree. While further ...

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 ...

Discover the wonders of magnetism through exciting demonstrations that reveal the hidden forces at play. Watch how magnetic fields interact with objects, creating mesmerizing effects that defy ...

Skyrmions are nanometer- to micrometer-sized magnetic whirls that exhibit particle ... but the simulations are also similar in speed to the experiments," explained theoretical physicist Maarten ...
