Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

Scientists have discovered quantum vibrations in a crystal that link heat, sound, and magnetism for the first time.

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting ...

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

Hybrid magnet for "neutron scattering" experiments to be built. The planned magnet will produce a magnetic field between 25 tesla and 30 tesla -- more than half a million times stronger than the Earth ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Historically, prior to 1820, electricity and magnetism were thought to be separate entities of nature. On April 21, 1820, Hans Christian Oersted, a Danish physi ...

The strongest superconducting user magnet in the world currently has a field strength of 23.5 tesla. When this ambitious project is completed in 2017, the strongest superconducting magnet on the ...
