A team of physicists and engineers at the CU Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation of magnetic fields using what may be the tiniest compasses around—atoms. The group’s findings ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at ultrahigh magnetic fields in humans and animals is a uniquely important tool to advance the understanding of function and ...

The magnetic compass is the last unknown sense in migrating animals. For some scientists, the monarch butterfly is leading the way. The magnetic compass is the last unknown sense in migrating animals.

Loggerhead turtles are able to sense the Earth’s magnetic field in two ways, but it wasn’t clear which sense the animals use to detect the magnetic field when navigating using the magnetic map they ...

A controversial technique has produced detailed maps of the magnetic fields in colossal galaxy clusters. If confirmed, the approach could be used to reveal where cosmic magnetic fields come from. By ...

Andrew Biggin receives funding from the Natural Environment Research Council. While we have sent probes billions of kilometres into interstellar space, humans have barely scratched the surface of our ...
