For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...

Earth’s magnetic shield is shifting in dramatic ways. New data from ESA’s Swarm satellites show that the South Atlantic Anomaly — a vast weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field — has grown by nearly half ...

Earth’s magnetic field, generated deep within the planet’s liquid iron core, has been bending, stretching, and occasionally flipping for billions of years. That invisible shield determines whether ...

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes that ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly, a huge weak spot in the geomagnetic field off South America, has expanded and sprouted a lobe in the direction of Africa over the past decade. When you purchase through ...

Scientists now believe humans might possess a subtle ability to sense Earth's magnetic field, a trait previously thought exclusive to animals. Research indicates our brains and possibly eyes respond ...

Earth-like planets have a thin crust, a large mantle (which contains a lot of molten magma), and a core. Inside these ...
