Dancing turtles have proved for the first time that some animals use Earth's magnetic field to create a personal map of their ...

While the geographical North Pole stays fixed in place (at the very summit of the Earth's rotational axis), the WMM pinpoints the magnetic North Pole – where Earth's magnetic field points straight ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation systems Ella Jeffries Staff Contributor The magnetic north pole, distinct from ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.

Earth's magnetic field occasionally bursts into song — but these compositions are written with electromagnetic radiation, not sound waves. When converted to audio signals, though, these strange ...

This new model updates the location of magnetic north while also providing improved navigation for technologies reliant on Earth’s magnetic field. Updated every five years, scientists have ...

Check your compass again — Earth’s north magnetic pole is moving ... But many industries rely on highly accurate magnetic field maps for navigation. Companies update navigation systems in ...

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...
