Science 'Magnetoreception' is the new human superpower we've always had Scientists have new evidence of an ancient sense of geomagnetism that we know little about.

It had been discussed for decades earlier and I thought maybe this reaction, which was entirely feasible in living cells, could explain magnetoreception in birds and other animals.

Could some humans be able to sense the Earth’s magnetic field? Evidence suggests humans could be—yes, this is the real term—magnetoreceptors.

Some animals are capable of magnetoreception—an added sense that helps them detect magnetic fields. European scientists have now learned that the molecule responsible for this trait is also ...

Magnetoreception enables animals to sense magnetic fields, which helps them navigate and orient themselves through the perception of location, direction or altitude. It’s been established that a ...

New Study Fuels Debate About Source of Birds’ Magnetic Sense A detailed analysis of cryptochrome 4 shows that the protein is highly sensitive to magnetic fields in vitro, but some researchers dispute ...

Some observations suggests that even dogs and cows sense the Earth's magnetic field. But exactly how magnetoreception – the ability to detect magnetic fields – works remains a mystery.

They may also use the Earth’s magnetic field, thanks to a sense known as magnetoreception. Theories about it have long attracted quacks.

A research team has published a new model which allows studying magnetoreception. Analyzing zebrafish and medaka fish allowed the researchers to measure brain activity during magnetic stimulation ...

The researchers identified a series of genes that seem to be involved in the fish’s magnetoreception, allowing them to pick up on the weak magnetic field of the planet.
