For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard numbers.

To address this, the researchers used a flight simulator system that allowed individual moths to fly in any direction while attached to a tether ( Dreyer et al., 2021 ). The researchers were able to ...

Nocturnal insects may use both Earth's magnetic field and visual cues to guide their migratory flight behaviors, according to recent findings. The research, published in eLife, presents compelling ...

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