The magnetized rocks of Earth's crust and mantle, also known as the upper lithosphere, accounts for generating 6 percent of ...

North wasn’t always “up” on world maps. North doesn't always mean "up" when it comes to geophysics. Scientists have known for ...

The researchers used it to map stray magnetic fields from CoFeB–SiO2 thin films used in high-frequency inductors. They ...

The venous system maintains the health of our brains by removing deoxygenated blood and other waste products, but its complexity and variability have made scientific study difficult. Now, a UC ...

The aurora's are back! And may be visible throughout the weekend. The University of Alaska and NOAA track auroras using the ...

Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

Deciphering the universe’s secrets is partly done through observation, but just as important are solid models of the forces ...

The images map out properties such as fractal density and magnetic field lines, resembling abstract works of art. "Turbulence remains one of the greatest unsolved problems in classical mechanics," ...

Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their favourite spots, scientists said Wednesday. Some animals that migrate ...

That’s according to new research that suggests that these turtles use Earth’s magnetic field as a map and a compass in two different ways. “Our study investigated for the first time whether ...

Loggerheads rely on two distinct magnetic systems — a magnetic map for tracking locations and a magnetic compass for orienting direction. When loggerheads are exposed to radiofrequency ...
