A blazar is an extraordinarily bright object with a supermassive black hole at its core. Some of the matter falling into the ...

Explore the fascinating world of clean energy with this step-by-step DIY magnetic generator build. Learn how everyday items ...

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that pigeons sense magnetic fields by detecting electric currents in their inner ears.

For experimental physicists, the latest measurement of the muon is the best of times. For theorists there's still work to do.

In labs around the world, scientists chase forces too faint to see and too small to touch. They hunt for tiny magnetic ...

Pigeons may sense Earth's magnetic field using special cells in the inner ear. This discovery explains how they navigate long ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...

Magnetic flux ropes are structures that are common in the corona of the sun and presumably all stars. They can be thought of as the building blocks of solar structures. They have been observed in ...

How do pigeons know where they're going while flying across vast distances? Researchers point to their inner ear system.

A study by scientists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has shown that baby turtles use their magnetic ...

This activity is part of the Science Friday Sun Camp collection! The Sun generates an incredible amount of energy, energy that you can see and feel as light and heat. Other forms of energy from the ...
