Earth's magnetic field was so weak it almost disappeared. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, complex life emerged.

New simulation of magnetic turbulence helps scientists study star formation, space weather, and the forces shaping our galaxy ...

Earth’s magnetic field has long served as a vital shield ... and scrapers—tools likely used to make tailored garments. Unlike simple animal hides, fitted clothes offered more protection ...

to just 2.43 Earth radii (15,498 km). The magnetic field also transformed from a simple north-south configuration to a complex arrangement with multiple magnetic poles scattered around the planet.

Earth's magnetic field is weakening, but what that means exactly is still unclear, some geophysicists explains the potential ...

Another special element of MMB is the "magnetotactic" in its name, which means it orients itself based on Earth's magnetic field. If you compare MMB to ... structures out of something comparatively ...

Another special element of MMB is the "magnetotactic" in its name, which means it orients itself based on Earth's magnetic field. If you compare MMB to a social cell of people, which shifts toward ...

Their approach is to sense anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field and compare them with a known map of the field to work out their position. And because they use quantum sensors for this process, ...

Microfluidics experiments and simulations show that magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the geomagnetic field strength for optimal navigation in sediment environments.

An aurora gently glowing in wavelengths visible to the human eye has been captured on Mars for the first time – and a robot ...
