Could we be on the brink of a geomagnetic reversal, in which the magnetic north and south poles swap places? Earth’s magnetic field is generated by the convection of molten iron in the planet ...

Magnets and superconductors go together like oil and water—or so scientists have thought. But a new finding by MIT physicists ...

refer to the movement of Earth's magnetic north and south poles. Unlike the geographic poles, which are fixed, magnetic poles are fluid, constantly wandering due to the dynamic nature of Earth’s ...

the magnetic north pole becomes the magnetic south pole -- in "a few thousand years." At the time, I figured there was no rush to write it up -- after all, we might not even be living on Earth in ...

And as the iron and nickel inside our planet shift, so does Earth's magnetic field, meaning the North (and South) Poles are ...

When a magnet repels, it pushes another magnet away. A magnet has opposite ends called a north pole and a south pole. Between the poles is a magnetic force that we can’t see. This is a non ...

Magnetic North is on the move — faster than ... You might think that direction would be one of them. North, south, east, and west, the points of the compass. But while the True North of the ...

A compass points north because all magnets have two poles, a north pole and a south pole, and the north pole of one magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet. (You may have seen this ...

If you are using your smartphone to navigate, your system just got a crucial update. Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole ...
