Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

In a levitation breakthrough, scientists have created a virtually frictionless, macroscale levitating disk that requires no ...

The video explains the concepts of magnetic, electric, and gravitational fields using simple demonstrations. It shows how iron filings reveal the magnetic field around a magnet, how charged objects ...

Dive into the exciting world of magnetic energy with our latest experiment focusing on motor-generator systems! In this video ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

Developed over 70 years ago, the stellarator has long been ignored in favor of options like tokamak reactors. It might be time for its 'quasiaxisymmetry' to shine. By Andrew Paul Published Apr 5, 2024 ...

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself dramatically when placed in a magnetic field. Unlike a regular fridge, this effect ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

Madison, scientists at startup Realta Fusion published two papers outlining the viability of the magnetic mirror design for nuclear fusion devices, making it competitive with more highly-researched ...
