For just over two years, a scalar magnetometer developed by Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and the Space Research Institute (IWF) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences has been on its way to ...

Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field generated by electric currents from within the planet. Compasses take advantage of this field to identify north and serve as a navigational aid. But one social ...

To address this, the researchers used a flight simulator system that allowed individual moths to fly in any direction while attached to a tether ( Dreyer et al., 2021 ). The researchers were able to ...

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

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 ...
