New research reveals how cryptochromes, magnetite, and electromagnetic induction help animals detect magnetic cues and find ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing electric currents and magnetic fields. (Nanowerk News) A fundamental goal of ...

Genetic analysis of inner ear tissue revealed cells with highly sensitive electric sensors, the same ones used by sharks to detect their prey. "The cells we describe are ideally equipped to detect ...

Geophysicists from ETH Zurich and SUSTech, China, have demonstrated the dynamo effect of the Earth’s core in a model in which viscosity has no influence, as is the correct physical regime for the ...

Germany’s Federal Office for Radiation Protection has released the findings of a multi-year investigation into electromagnetic exposure in modern vehicles, and the takeaway is straightforward: whether ...

In physics, we have a bunch of constants that are used in models to explain how the world works. These are fixed numbers that we plug into equations along with our variables. For example, the ...

A recent CU Boulder study suggests that confined flares are more efficient at heating plasma and producing ionizing radiation than comparable eruptive flares While many studies have compared the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the ...
