Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By ...

Bar magnets have two poles close pole Either of the two points of a magnet to and from which the lines of magnetic force are directed. north pole – normally shown as N south pole – normally ...

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

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 ...

As the Earth rotates on its axis, the hot, liquid outer core churns and moves around the solid inner core. This movement produces an electrical current that generates and maintains the strong magnetic ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa.

In a new study, physicists propose that superconducting magnets from dark matter experiments that are originally designed to ...

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.

Usually, when you split a bar magnet in two, the new pieces form new poles and exhibit magnetic field lines the same way as before. In classical physics, ...

Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released study.

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 ...
