Magnetic sectors were the mass analyzers used in the early days of mass spectrometry. Those instruments were quite large, and today, other, more compact, types of mass analyzers capable of separating ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

Gravitational waves are energy-carrying waves produced by the acceleration or disturbance of massive objects. These waves, which were first directly observed in 2015, are known to be produced during ...

In this captivating experiment, explore the fascinating world of electric motors and their magnetic rotors in motion. Discover the principles that power these remarkable devices as we dive into the ...

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...

Like a shaggy dog in springtime, some black holes have to shed. New computer simulations reveal how black holes might discard their magnetic fields. Unlike dogs with their varied fur coats, isolated ...
