Our bodies generate extremely weak magnetic fields as electric currents flow through the heart, brain and other tissues.

Magnetic fields are everywhere in our solar system. They originate from the sun, planets, and moons, and are carried throughout interplanetary space by solar wind. This is precisely why ...
