Magnetic fields lines are invisible but they fill the space around a magnet where the magnetic forces work on magnetic materials, and where they can attract or repel other magnets.

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

Two German physicists have unveiled a compact magnet layout that outperforms the famed Halbach array, delivering stronger, ...

Physicists Prof. Dr. Ingo Rehberg from the University of Bayreuth and Dr. Peter Blümler from Johannes Gutenberg University ...

The magnetic field around a circular loop of wire is similar to that of a bar magnet. When an electric current flows through the loop, it generates a magnetic field.

Earth's magnetic field can be visualized if you imagine a large bar magnet inside our planet, roughly aligned with Earth's axis. Each end of the magnet lies relatively close (about 10 degrees) to ...

Strong magnets can also align the magnetic fields of weaker ferromagnetic materials, making them magnetic. Magnets come in many different sizes, shapes, and strengths. Do you think you can tell how ...

That magnet is strong, representing roughly 75 percent of the intensity of Earth's magnetic field at the surface. Of course, a bar magnet is not a perfect representation — it's actually electric ...
