For decades, scientists have known that Earth’s magnetic field helps migratory birds and homing pigeons navigate. Just how ...

How animals navigate by Earth's magnetic field is hotly debated. New research in pigeons points to iron-laden liver immune ...

Immune cells packed with iron act as an "internal compass" — helping the birds detect the Earth's magnetic field.

For the first time, an international team of researchers has experimentally observed magnetic hopfions.

A quiet field can look completely ordinary until you notice the pattern. Many cows and deer seem to rest or graze with their ...

Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic ...

How pigeons fly hundreds of kilometers and still find their way home has long fascinated people. Now, researchers say a surprising answer may be hidden, not in the brain or eyes of birds, but in the ...
