Pigeons sense the Earth's magnetic pull via immune cells in their liver, a new study says. Andreas Teichmann, laif/Redux ...

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

Scientists have long known that migrating birds and homing pigeons navigate in part by sensing the Earth’s magnetic fields, especially at night or in overcast conditions when visual landmarks or ...

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

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

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 ...

A study details a surprising new way into how pigeons find their way home. Some animals including birds orient themselves using both the sun and Earth’s magnetic field as a ...

This video explains how compasses use Earth’s magnetic field to point north, breaking down the science behind one of humanity ...

The magnetic north pole just crossed into unmapped territory, and every navigation system on Earth is scrambling to catch up.

A Swedish-German-Luxembourg-Chinese collaboration demonstrated the existence of these magnetic hopfions using femtosecond ...

Scientists have observed a completely new type of magnetic structure for the first time by using extremely short laser ...
