A 1912 experiment found that if an electromagnet spins on its long axis, its magnetic field does not rotate along with it. And while the Earth spins, its rotational axis doesn’t quite line up ...

In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of material that can expand, assume new shapes, move and follow ...

"If the effect is real and scaling behaves the way our equations say, then the possibility becomes real," Chyba told Newsweek ...

For desert ants, Earth’s magnetic field isn’t just a compass: It may also sculpt their brains. Stepping outside their nest for the first time, young ants need to learn how to forage.

Comprehensive examination reveals improper siting of reaction vessels can affect catalyst formation, alter nanoparticle ...

Learn why with hands-on experiments. The Sun's solar winds and the Earth's magnetic fields create beautiful auroras. Learn why with hands-on ... forming ovals because of the shape of the Earth’s ...

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 ...

Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...

These shape-shifting devices melt and re-form thanks to magnetic fields. Gallium plus magnetism equals something straight out of Terminator 2 ...

A vlogger did an interesting experiment in a Tesla. He took a device that measures electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) to find out what their level is inside the Tesla when it is left charging ...

Liquid-metal experiment simulates astrophysical accretion discs. As they applied a vertical magnetic field along the cylinders’ rotation axis, the researchers measured the fluid’s magnetic Reynolds ...
