Newly Discovered "Compass" Protein Lines Up With Magnetic Fields And Give Animals Magnetic Sense It took a long time for scientists to believe that animals were capable of sensing our planet’s magnetic field, and while we now know this so-called magnetoreception is very much a real phenomenon, researchers have yet to grasp a deep understanding Read more ... of how this is achieved. Now, scientists are starti…

Non-Magnetic Metals Turned Magnetic In Groundbreaking Research Of the 91 metals that we know to exist, only three are truly magnetic at room temperature: iron, cobalt and nickel. This poses something of a problem as we have to rely heavily on these elements for anything for which we need magnetism, like MRI scan Read more ... ners, computer memory storage and wind turbines.

Earth’s Magnetic Field May Be Half A Billion Years Older Than Previously Thought Earth’s magnetic field is now thought to be at least four billion years old. As this magnetic field is crucial to protecting the Earth’s atmosphere, pinpointing when the magnetic field first arose could help us uncover how long our planet has bee Read more ... n habitable.

Worms Know What's Up — And Now Scientists Know Why In what researchers say is a first, they've discovered the neuron in worms that detects Earth's magnetic field. They say the worms have microscopic antenna-shaped sensors to help orient themselves.
