If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions ...

Scientists have long suspected that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs)—thin pieces of black phosphorus, only a few nanometers ...

Merging some esoteric physics principles with an advanced instrument creates a magnetic microscope with resolution better ...

Scientists have discovered a new reason for turtles to dance for joy: Loggerhead sea turtles seem able to discern and remember magnetic field signatures, which could help them find food.

Now, a new study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, reveals loggerhead turtles, the most abundant sea turtle species nesting in the United States, learn the magnetic fields of specific ...

Over time, changes to this innermost layer could impact the planet’s magnetic field, which shields our world from solar radiation — and helps guide the migrations of many animals. Loggerhead ...

By learning to associate a magnetic field with a food, this cute display has helped indicate that the sea turtles have two distinct geomagnetic senses to help them navigate during their epic ocean ...

That’s according to new research that suggests that these turtles use Earth’s magnetic field as a map and a compass in two different ways. “Our study investigated for the first time whether ...
