Magnets have practically become everyday objects. Earlier on, however, the universe consisted only of nonmagnetic elements and particles. Just how the magnetic forces came into existence has been ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

Solar flares, intense bursts of radiation and light emitted from the Sun, are usually followed by a coronal mass ejection, which is a massive amount of solar material and the magnetic field energy ...

Explore how to calculate the magnetic force on a current-carrying loop from a long straight wire! This tutorial breaks down the physics concepts behind magnetic fields and forces, perfect for physics ...

The joint development team of Professor Shibata (the University of Tokyo), JEOL Ltd. and Monash University succeeded in directly observing an atomic magnetic field, the origin of magnets (magnetic ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries ...

Some of the most breathtaking objects in the cosmos are the jets of matter streaming out of stars, but astrophysicists have long been at a loss to explain how these jets achieve their varied shapes.

Military leaders have been warning of the fragility of GPS for years and researchers have been working on a variety of solutions, from quantum clocks to inertial navigation. The Air Force is adding a ...

Magnetic separation has become increasingly popular in biomedical science and industry. This technology uses magnetic properties of micro/nano-sized particles to separate macromolecules of interest, ...

A new study, published in today's issue of the journal Science, finds that the basic electrical properties of semiconducting carbon nanotubes change when they are placed inside a magnetic field.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden published their findings in Advanced Materials, demonstrating a material that allows two competing magnetic forces to coexist within a single ...

Researchers at HZDR have partnered with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, and the Institute of ...
