Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and ...

Pigeons may sense Earth's magnetic field using special cells in the inner ear. This discovery explains how they navigate long distances.

It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

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

An international team of researchers led by Lancaster University has discovered a highly efficient mechanism for shaking ...

Loggerhead turtles are able to sense the Earth’s magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn’t clear which sense the animals use to detect the magnetic field when navigating using the magnetic map they ...

Most people assume a compass will behave perfectly, no matter where you take it, but the magnetic pole is a […] ...

Recently the MagQuest competition on improving the measuring of the Earth’s magnetic field announced that the contestants in ...

A new study reveals how trillionth-of-a-second light pulses strongly deflect magnetization by exploiting orbital-spin ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism ...

Pigeons can sense Earth’s magnetic field by detecting tiny electric currents in their inner ears, a team of researchers suggests. Such an inner compass could help to explain how certain animals can ...
