For just over two years, a scalar magnetometer developed by Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the Space Research Institute (IWF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has been on its way to ...

Motion of a charged particle in magnetic field is described by the change in the direction of motion. It is described as magnetic field which is capable of only changing direction of motion. Motion of ...

Earth's magnetic field appears to be able to change direction around 10 times faster than was previously thought, scientists have discovered. By recreating the last 100,000 years of the field's ...

The time it takes for Earth's magnetic field to reverse polarity is approximately 7000 years, but the time it takes for the reversal to occur is shorter at low latitudes than at high latitudes, a ...

Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly, a huge weak spot in the geomagnetic field off South America, has expanded and sprouted a lobe in ...

The concept of magnetic field lines and magnetic fields was first studied and observed by Michael Faraday and by James Clerk Maxwell, who made great discoveries in the field of electromagnetism.

Scientists have known for decades that many animals use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation. It's less clear how they do it. A new study suggests earthworms may be a good way to figure it ...

Scientists from the University of Leeds and the University of California, San Diego have discovered that Earth's magnetic field—already a well-documented rascal—may swap directions much faster than ...
