In the vast, featureless expanse of the open ocean, how does a sea turtle find its way? For loggerhead turtles, the answer ...

A coil of wire, or solenoid, consists of a wire coiled up into a spiral shape. When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet.

Learn how forces deep underground generate a protective bubble between us and space.

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

The biologists used a magnetic coil system with an electric current running through it to re-create the magnetic fields the turtles associated with the food. After the first experiment ...

Currently, the most common method of brain stimulation involves passing a small electric current ... below a certain level. The magnetic field generated by the coil is approximately 500 milliTesla ...

“The electric and magnetic fields at a material’s atomic level determine its bulk properties and behavior, and are an essential area of research,” says Toshiaki Tanigaki, a senior researcher ...

Researchers found that exposing mice with type 2 diabetes to static electric and magnetic fields increases insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar. The paper “is a noninvasive way of treating ...

University of North Carolina Chapel Hill researchers have found that captive loggerheads could be conditioned to “dance” by associating certain magnetic fields with being fed food.

A coil of wire, or solenoid, consists of a wire coiled up into a spiral shape. When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet.
