Scientists say microscopic magnetite fossils may have enabled an ancient creature to detect Earth’s magnetic field, offering ...

Investigators have used magnetoencephalography -- a technology that measures brain activity by detecting the weak magnetic fields produced by the brain's normal electrical currents -- to measure ...

Researchers at EPFL have discovered that by shining different wavelengths of light on a material called magnetite, they can change its state, making it more or less conducive to electricity. This ...

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are phylogenetically and morphologically diverse prokaryotes that share an ancestral capability of producing intracellular magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) or/and greigite (Fe 3 S 4) ...

When magnetotactic bacteria follow their internal compass, they are not seeking the proper route from north to south, but instead are seeking the bottom of oceans, rivers, or other bodies of water.

Like the Marvel comic book hero, we are all iron men and women. Iron composes the heme of hemoglobin, the red pigment in our blood. It's stored in ferritin, a protein ubiquitous in almost all living ...

Magnetite is the most magnetic naturally occurring mineral on Earth, and it seems that this may be the case for Subnautica: Below Zero's Planet 4546B as well. Players can find Magnetite Ore during ...
