Scientists have uncovered 97-million-year-old magnetic fossils that hint at a mysterious, extinct marine animal equipped with ...

Desert ants of the Cataglyphis nodus species use the Earth's magnetic field for spatial orientation, but rely on a different component of the field than other insects. The survey suggests that the ...

Scientists have known for decades that some animals use the Earth's magnetic field to help them navigate, kind of like an internal GPS. How they do it, though, remains unclear. NPR's Nate Rott reports ...

A significant research grant from the Wellcome Trust will allow a team of researchers to identify the biological mechanisms through which magnetic forces affect animals, including humans. Scientists ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Scientists have known for decades that some animals use the Earth's magnetic field to help them navigate. Think of it as an internal GPS. But how it all works remains unclear. NPR's Nate Rott reports ...

Desert ants can sense the North-South direction of the magnetic field to determine the direction of their nest entrance during so called learning walks. How exactly magnetoreception works in animals, ...
