A new study finds the magnetic field generated by a tsunami can be detected a few minutes earlier than changes in sea level and could improve warnings of these giant waves. Tsunamis generate magnetic ...

For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

Ofer Cohen works for the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The university benefits from any public article that is written by one of its faculty in terms of exposure and visibility. Ofer Cohen ...

In 1882, the French Naturalist Camille Viguier was among the first to propose the existence of a magnetic sense. His ...

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 ...

For nearly two centuries, physics textbooks have treated light as magnetically indifferent to the materials it passes through ...

A series of three powerful flares and associated explosions of solar material out across the Solar System have set Earth ...

A new electronic skin sensor uses magnetic cilia to detect both pressure and magnetic fields for applications in health and touchless interfaces. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Electronic skin, or e-skin, ...
