Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...
“Migratory birds possess a true magnetic compass—they can actively sense and extract directional information from the Earth’s ...
Pigeons can sense Earth’s magnetic field by detecting tiny electric currents in their inner ears, a team of researchers suggests. Such an inner compass could help to explain how certain animals can ...

Quantum device aboard ISS tracks Earth’s magnetic field using tiny diamonds
A team of researchers used tiny imperfections on a diamond lattice to successfully measure ...
Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map. Eurasian reed warblers ...
From ancient compasses to modern smartphones, magnetometers have quietly shaped how we sense and navigate the world. Let us explore the fundamentals behind these field-detecting devices. Magnetic ...
