One of the commonly used tools is the lab magnetic stirrer. This works in such a manner that it creates a magnetic field that ...

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Historically, prior to 1820, electricity and magnetism were thought to be separate entities of nature. On April 21, 1820, ...

Earth's magnetic field, a familiar directional indicator over long distances, is routinely probed in applications ranging from geology to archaeology. Now it has provided the basis for a technique ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

In this video I show you 6 experiments with magnets: 1. Apples and magnet. For this experiment you need to build suspension from chop sticks. Put 2 apples at opposite ends of the stick and after that ...

Built with both traditional and novel superconducting materials, the magnet reached a field of 27 teslas on June 5 in a test that exceeded designers’ expectations. The magnet is a smaller version of ...
