New magnetic spray transforms pills into mini robots that can be navigated throughout the body

A magnetic spray is capable to turning objects into moving robots, which could be used to navigate drugs throughout the body. Scientists at the City University in Hong Kong revealed the innovation made of polyvinyl alcohol, gluten and iron particles. Called ‘M-spray,’ it is capable of sticking on the targeted object and when it activates, … Read more

Moon’s now-defunct magnetic field ‘protected Earths from solar storms’ 4 billion years ago 

The Moon’s once powerful magnetic field helped shield Earth and its developing atmosphere from powerful solar storms 4 billion years ago, a new study claims. Researchers led by James Green, NASA’s chief scientist, created computer models simulating the protective impact the Moon once had over Earth.   The combined magnetic fields of both the Moon and … Read more

DJI OM4 smartphone stabilizer introduced with magnetic mounts

DJI has definitely something new in store for the content creators and vloggers. Those DJI Osmo Mobile 4 info that leaked a couple of days ago turn out to be true. We never doubted its arrival especially since the earlier source of information, Roland Quandt, is reliable. The new smartphone stabilizer is ready to “capture … Read more

NASA tracks ‘dent’ in Earth’s magnetic field caused by solar storms which could knock out computers

NASA is monitoring a ‘small but evolving dent’ in Earth’s magnetic field that could impact satellites and spacecraft. Stretching from South American and to southwest Africa is the South Atlantic Anomaly (SSA), which is a weakened spot in the field that allows charged particles from the sun to dip closer to the surface than usual. … Read more

Dogs keep track of where they are by relying on the Earth’s magnetic field 

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 changes 10 times faster than previously thought

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

Giant magnetic spots on the surface of extremely hot stars trigger giant flares, study shows 

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

Earth’s magnetic field is WEAKENING between Africa and South America, and malfunctioning satellites

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
