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

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

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

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the ...

Protein crystallisation, a cornerstone technique in structural biology, is increasingly being refined through the controlled application of external electric and magnetic fields. By precisely ...

Scientists studying Earth's magnetic field have discovered that its electric heartbeat flows in the opposite direction from ...

New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that ...
