Imagine waking up one morning to a world where compasses point south instead of north, where auroras shimmer across the ...

FROM a knowledge of the mass of the Earth and its moment of inertia and from an analysis of seismic data, Bullen 1 has reconstructed a pressure-density curve for the Earth's interior. The outer ...

The Earth's magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nanoparticles and materials. Scientists at Flinders ...

The strength of Earth’s magnetic field dropped to just 10% of its current level, while the magnetic poles wandered far from their usual locations. For about 300 years, the magnetic fi ...

Their approach is to sense anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field and compare them with a known map of the field to work out their position. And because they use quantum sensors for this process, ...

Earth’s moving interior generates our planet’s magnetic field, an invisible shield that helps protect us and our atmosphere from harmful energy coming from space. This magnetic field has a ...
