RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

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

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 ...

Many species of birds use the Earth's magnetic field to select a direction of movement. However, until now it has not been possible to train birds to move in a certain direction in the laboratory, ...

Researchers in Japan have shown that a common oxide material, when engineered precisely enough, can exhibit a rare magnetic ...

Figure 1: Bilateral sectioning of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve does not affect magnetic compass orientation in European robins. The second alternative explanation is that cluster N ...

Three-dimensional magnetic vortices have recently been discovered. Vortex states are potential antennas for the ultrafast, wireless data transmission of tomorrow. hree-dimensional magnetic vortices ...

Nanoscale maze-like magnetic patterns form reliably across strained substrates, removing a key bottleneck for faster, more ...

A study of Google Earth satellite images has revealed that herds of cattle tend to face in the north-south direction of Earth's magnetic lines. Staring at cows may not equal the thrill of spotting ...

A collaborative team has developed a new way to create magnetic optical materials, one that removes a long-standing design ...

Three-dimensional magnetic vortices have been discovered by scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf in Germany together with colleagues from the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland ...
