Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials.

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, ...

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

You can test stir bar behaviour by filming through the side of a vial or using a magnetic material (nickel or iron granules) ...

The Syntech Chronos 68 is a highly customizable magnetic switch keyboard that, with some small Mac-specific issues aside, is ...

Scientists working on the Muon g-2 experiment, hosted by the US Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, have released their third and final measurement of the muon magnetic ...

BERKELEY, Calif. — For decades, something strange has lurked inside the icy giants of our solar system. Uranus and Neptune, distant blue worlds 1.7 billion miles from Earth, harbor magnetic fields ...

As you may recall from Physics 101, a changing magnetic field (like when you slide a bar magnet through a copper coil) induces an electric current. At planetary scale, Earth’s magnetic field induces ...

This magnetic field is very similar to the field that is produced by a common bar magnet. It is called a dipole because it has two poles at either end of the magnet. These endpoints are where the ...

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.
