Multiple lines of evidence suggest that pigeons sense magnetic fields by detecting electric currents in their inner ears.

Scientists have come closer to solving the long-standing mystery of bird navigation: a research team has presented convincing ...

In 1882, the French Naturalist Camille Viguier was among the first to propose the existence of a magnetic sense. His ...

Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

The Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted was discussing in the year 1820 about the possibility of electricity and magnetism being associated to one another, and in the process presenting it finally ...

For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the ...

Applying a magnetic field to PdCo2, a non-magnetic metal, made it conduct 70% more electricity, even though basic physics principles would have predicted the opposite. Insights from pure mathematics ...

A Hall-effect sensor is a transducer that converts a magnetic field directly into a usable electrical voltage. It enables ...

Magnetic skyrmions – quasiparticles with a vortex-like structure – show much promise as storage bits for next-generation computer memories and logic devices, but tracking their motion is no easy task.
