Physics is supposed to be predictable. Drop a ball, and gravity pulls it down. Heat water, and it boils. Light travels in straight lines. Yet throughout history, scientists have encountered ...

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered an unexpected form of the Hall effect, overturning the long-held ...

Magnets, those everyday objects we stick to our fridges, all share a unique characteristic: they always have both a north and a south pole. Even if you tried breaking a magnet in half, the poles would ...

Create your own magnetic slime and discover how ferromagnetic materials interact with magnetic fields. You'll learn about magnetism, viscosity, and chemical reactions while making a fascinating ...

Scientists demonstrated a contactless way to move and rotate conductive objects that could someday help robots safely handle space junk.

A team of researchers report a mechanical response across a layered magnetic material tied to changing its electron spin. This response could have important applications in nanodevices requiring ultra ...

Rice University researchers have used a magnetically levitated particle to search for ultraheavy dark matter, extending the ...

Powerful magnetic fields may tear apart and trap giant stellar eruptions before the plasma can escape into space.

In response to an informal request from the National Science Foundation, the National Research Council convened the Committee on Opportunities in High Magnetic Field Science in mid-2003. The committee ...
