A bacterium's built-in compass, explained: Single-cell magnetometry confirms Earth-field alignment
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 ...
Magnetic fields play an important—if sometimes underappreciated—part in planetary systems. Without a strong magnetic field, planets can end up as a barren wasteland like Mars, or they could indirectly ...

Mysterious blobs of hot rock around Earth’s core 'instrumental' in producing planet’s magnetic field
Two enormous and enigmatic masses of hot rock near the planet's core may play a crucial role in generating the Earth's ...
Recent research shows that magnetic fields can spontaneously emerge in a plasma if the plasma has a temperature anisotropy. This mechanism is known as the Weibel instability. This new research is the ...
A new radio survey reveals that the Milky Way’s magnetic field is intricate, widespread, and deeply connected to how the galaxy is organized.
