This week, see what makes loggerhead sea turtles “dance,” track a cosmic “ghost particle,” uncover an ancient basilica, and more.

Loggerhead turtles, known for their extensive migrations across the oceans, have been shown to use Earth’s magnetic fields ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...
