Scientists have uncovered 97-million-year-old magnetic fossils that hint at a mysterious, extinct marine animal equipped with ...

Scientists have known for decades that some animals use the Earth's magnetic field to help them navigate, kind of like an internal GPS. How they do it, though, remains unclear. NPR's Nate Rott reports ...

A microscopic magnetite fossil (left) discovered in sediment below the North Atlantic, seen using X-ray microscopy; the fossil?s magnetic configuration, with magnetic moments swirling around a central ...

While we’re busy faffing about with satnavs and getting lost if our phone battery dies, the rest of the animal […] ...

The earliest evidence of an internal ‘GPS’ system in an animal has been identified by researchers, which could help explain how modern birds and fish evolved the ability to use the Earth’s magnetic ...

A long time ago, tiny crystals formed in seafloor mud and held onto secrets that would puzzle scientists for decades. These crystals were first spotted in 2008. They looked similar to the magnetic ...
