Earth’s magnetic field could provide a ‘universal reference’ for dogs and help them navigate back to their owners wherever they are, new study shows Researchers in the Czech Republic tested dogs’ navigation abilities off-leash They found that all dogs began their return trips to owners with a ‘compass run’ This entailed a brief dash along … Read more

Earth’s magnetic field can change 10 times faster than previously thought, according to new research, almost 100 times faster than current changes. UK scientists have simulated the history of the swirling flow of iron 1,740 miles below the planet’s surface, spanning the last 100,000 years. Motion of the liquid iron creates the electric currents that power the field, … Read more

How important is the presence of liquid water? It is now widely believed that Mars holds a reasonably large volume of water. However, the surface of the planet is so cold, this water exists only as ice. In order for life to exist on a planet, many scientists believe it is essential for the world … Read more
Plagued by spots! Giant magnetic patches on the surface of extremely hot and small stars can trigger giant flares, study shows Experts used Chile’s ‘Very Large Telescope’ to study distant small and hot stars They found that these stars appeared to change in brightness periodically This is caused by bright spots on their surface coming … Read more

Scientists have made a shocking discovery – the Earth’s magnetic field is weakening. The magnetic field is vital for life on our planet, as it shields us from cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted from the sun. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has been observed between Africa and South America, called the South … Read more
One in seven Britons suffers from recurrent headaches or migraines which can be so severe they require hospital treatment. But, for many, home remedies can provide effective relief, according to new NHS advice. ‘Headaches are a very common, but surprisingly debilitating, condition,’ says Dr Steven Allder, a consultant neurologist and headache expert at the private … Read more
