A perfectly preserved ancient tree fossil offered scientists an unprecedented view into a moment 42,000 years ago when the Earth’s magnetic field went haywire. The compelling 2021 study tells the ...

Scientists have found a way to achieve negative refraction—where light bends the "wrong" way—using carefully arranged atomic arrays instead of engineered metamaterials. This breakthrough has enormous ...

Combining experiments in microfluidic devices and computer simulation, this study provides a valuable analysis of the relevant parameters that determine the motility of (multicellular) magnetotactic ...

Discover how sea turtles navigate the ocean using their internal GPS and learn about their magnetic field perception.

Sea turtles are capable of creating GPS-like magnetic maps to guide them back to foraging grounds, and they do a little dance ...

Sea turtles have long mystified researchers by returning to beaches where they were hatched, magnetic signals may be the key, ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially ...
