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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
