For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform strength ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have made a significant advance in magnetic field measurement. They ...

A built-in "compass" made of magnetic nanoparticles helps them to reliably find the optimal habitat. Researchers at the University of Basel have now unlocked the magnetic properties of individual ...

Some bacterial species possess an astonishing ability: They use Earth's magnetic field to orient themselves. To better understand this mechanism, the team led by Argovia-Professor Martino Poggio from ...

Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...
