Hoping to keep tabs on the magnetic north's wandering ways, the World Magnetic Model 2025 has been released this week, revealing the latest official predicted placement of Earth's magnetic fields. This version will remain valid until…

41,000 years ago, the Laschamp event caused Earth’s magnetic field to briefly reverse and weaken dramatically. Scientists from Denmark and Germany have now turned this event into an auditory experience using ESA’s Swarm data, creating…

Summary: Scientists have developed magnetic nanodiscs that enable targeted brain stimulation without invasive implants or genetic modifications. The tiny discs, activated by an external magnetic field, deliver electrical pulses to…
