How does a magnetic compass work? Well, it’s all down to basic physics and human ingenuity. The key component of a standard baseplate compass is its magnetized needle, which is allowed to spin freely ...
For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...
NOAA scientists have spent decades tracking how magnetic north wanders, but recent modeling shows a pole moving in ways ...
Check your compass again – Earth’s north magnetic pole is moving toward Siberia. Since at least the early 19th century, Earth’s north magnetic pole has been situated in the Canadian Arctic and slowly ...
