Physicists investigated an unusual arrangement of three magnetic "swirls" - so called magnetic vortices - in a thin magnetic film. Their experiments unraveled the dynamic core movements of these ...

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 ...

Fusion power may be a more realistic prospect than you think. As Motherboard reports, researchers at the Energy Department's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that a new magnetic ...

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or ...

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 Standard Model, also known as the Theory of Almost Everything, describes how the fundamental particles of the universe interact. But the model isn’t complete: It fails to account for dark energy ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...

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 ...
