In labs around the world, scientists chase forces too faint to see and too small to touch. They hunt for tiny magnetic ...

Recently the MagQuest competition on improving the measuring of the Earth’s magnetic field announced that the contestants in ...

A new world record for the strongest steady magnetic field has been set at the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences set a new ...

NOAA and British Geological Survey make critical changes to World Magnetic Model to ensure accurate navigation NOAA officials announced today the World Magnetic Model (WMM), a representation of ...

Earth’s magnetic north pole is moving faster than at any other time since records began - and technology is struggling to keep up, scientists are warning. Used by navigators for millennia, the ...

Unlike its geographical poles, Earth’s magnetic poles that serve as the foundation of our navigation are actively moving. The north magnetic pole has been slowly moving across the Canadian Arctic ...

USGS and NASA have recently teamed up to create one of the most complete databases of magnetic properties of Earth’s rocks ever assembled. Satellite data of Earth's magnetic field combined with ...

Unlike its geographical poles, Earth’s magnetic poles that serve as the foundation of our navigation are actively moving. The north magnetic pole has been slowly moving across the Canadian Arctic ...

4.5 billion years ago in the violent, high-speed environment of the early solar system, a protoplanet roughly the size of Mars was involved in a series of fierce collisions with other large planetary ...

A gadolinium layer of no more than one nanometer in thickness is capable of combining the magnetic world with electronics. In this way, it will be possible to put a magnetic memory element directly to ...

Unlike the geographic North Pole, which stays put at the top of the globe, the North Magnetic Pole moves, and it historically does this at a fairly steady rate. Lately, it’s moved at about 31 miles ...
