Explore the fascinating world of magnets with a variety of fun and educational experiments using everyday objects. Watch as we test the magnetic properties of apples, stack iron coins using a ...

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

Swiss researchers have developed a new technique allowing for magnetic polarity changes using only a laser beam.

With an advanced technology known as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), scientists are able to map out a material's electron energy-momentum relationship, which encodes the material's ...

When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners reach the end of their lifetime, hospitals have to deal with a large piece of electronic waste, stuffed with potentially dangerous parts. Unless a ...

The 35.6-tesla magnet dwarfs hospital MRI machines and opens new frontiers in materials science and life sciences research.
