The Earth’s magnetic north pole has been slowly inching its way across the Arctic for decades, but recently, its path […] The ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, as the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially ...

The magnetic field is moving and flowing differently ... Some speculate that this could presage a flip of the north and south magnetic poles, but scientists say there’s no evidence that any ...

In mid-December of 2024, scientists officially updated the World Magnetic Model (WMM), which helps keep track of our planet’s ...

The accuracy of coordinates is crucial for the navigation of aircraft, ships and GPS devices - How is the magnetic field of ...

Geophysicists have long speculated that the weakening of the magnetic field could signal a potential geomagnetic reversal, in which the planet’s north and south magnetic poles swap places.

The energy resolution limit (ERL) is a mix of parameters representing the economics of a quantum system within a sensor's ...

This is an article from Curious Kids, a series for children. The Conversation is asking kids to send in questions they’d like an expert to answer. All questions are welcome – serious, weird or wacky!

Earth's magnetic poles are shifting unpredictably, with rapid drifts and weakening fields raising questions about a possible future reversal and its global effects.

Earth’s magnetic field, generated by movements within its molten iron core, serves as a protective shield against solar winds ...
