Discover the unexpected magnetic properties of burnt matchsticks in this engaging science experiment. Watch as we demonstrate ...

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 ...

A team of researchers report a mechanical response across a layered magnetic material tied to changing its electron spin. This response could have important applications in nanodevices requiring ultra ...

In response to an informal request from the National Science Foundation, the National Research Council convened the Committee on Opportunities in High Magnetic Field Science in mid-2003. The committee ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Magnetic energy in magnetized plasma is converted into kinetic energy through magnetic reconnection; a phenomenon that commonly occurs in astrophysical plasma and has been observed in laboratory ...
