It's a shame how many people don't know how to use a compass, especially when the National Park Service lists it as a top 10 ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive biomedical imaging technique that uses a strong oscillating magnetic field to induce endogenous atoms such as hydrogen, or exogenously added ...

NASA is closely monitoring the South Atlantic Anomaly, which is a growing dent in the Earth's magnetic field that allows charged solar particles to approach the surface. A huge 'dent' anomaly in the ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

even when exposed to strong magnetic fields. Chi’s team tried solving this problem by cutting the disks with a laser cutter in a kirigami-like pattern. Kirigami, a variation of origami ...

(Credit: Yanik Chauvin/Shutterstock) The north magnetic pole, located closer to Canada a century ago, is now on its way toward Siberia. Right on time for the surge of holiday travel, a new iteration ...

The magnetic Joy-Cons were confirmed to be true in the Switch 2's official reveal trailer. Accessory manufacturer Genki also reportedly showed a life-sized model of the Switch 2 model at CES 2025.

The needle of a compass has guided humanity for centuries, pointing unerringly toward the magnetic north. But what happens when that point moves — and accelerates? This week, scientists unveiled ...

so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are also constantly on the move. If you're using a compass or a GPS system, knowing exactly where these points are is crucial. "The ...
