Earth’s magnetic north pole has shifted toward Russia, prompting updates to GPS and navigation systems worldwide. Scientists track this invisible movement to keep technology accurate.

So the magnetic north pole is drifting away from Canada toward Russia. This continued in the year just passed, and the newest ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed. When you ...

The Earth's magnetic north pole is racing towards Siberia—and it is following an "unusual" and historically unprecedented path on its way. Experts told Newsweek that the pole could reach the vast ...

Our planet's invisible shield is changing in ways that scientists are only beginning to understand. Over the past two hundred years, Earth's magnetic field has weakened by around nine percent on a ...

Earth’s magnetic field is pretty adept at flipping polarity. The poles have swapped, reversing north and south, many times over the planet’s history. Within the last 20 million years, Earth has fallen ...

There is wide consensus among climate scientists that the Earth is warming and that humans directly contributed to this change by burning fossil fuels. Pole reversals have occurred several times in ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

Somewhere lurking in the universe, most physicists agree, are minuscule magnets with just one pole — a north or a south, but not both. Scientists haven’t spotted any yet, but a new experiment offers ...
