A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ...

An experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN could dramatically change our concepts of basic physics, revolutionize our understanding of the universe and could eventually lead to technologies in ...

Everyone knows that when you hold a compass in your hand the needle will point north thanks to Earth's magnetic field, but aside from simple navigation you probably don't spare much thought for our ...

Putting tiny magnetic particles inside ordinary water droplets can turn them into liquid acrobats – the droplets can climb steps, leap over obstacles and jump-start chemical reactions. This level of ...

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 ...

A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...
