Apples and magnet. For this experiment you need to build suspension from chop sticks. Put 2 apples at opposite ends of the ...

If the magnets were less efficient at converting mechanical motion to heat, it would mean they were producing something other than heat: sound, light, air movements, radio waves… ...

A gigantic 3,000-ton structure at the ITER project in France promises to contain burning plasma, bringing fusion energy ...

Researchers have now exposed the semimetal zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe₅) to high magnetic fields and very low temperatures. They found dramatically enhanced heat oscillations caused by a ...

A team of scientists from Japan has created a new magnetic material that can turn heat into electricity more efficiently than ...

Each of the magnetic oscillations, highlighted in blue, green and red rectangles, is less than 6,200 miles (10,000 kilometers) wide. For context, the solar disk measures 864,000 miles (1,392,000 ...

How the corona heating mystery defies physics. The majority of the sun's energy comes from its core, where nuclear fusion occurs. That means the sun should get hotter as one moves deeper within it ...
