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

The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

Scientists from TU Delft (The Netherlands) have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using ...

Every breath we take in contains 21% oxygen, the gas that makes life on Earth possible. Oxygen, in its combined oxide state, has always been abundant in Earth's crust, but elemental diatomic oxygen ...

A 16-ounce (0.5-liter) plastic water bottle or soda bottle Iron filings (available at science museums or from scientific suppliers, or you can use magnetic sand—black sand—collected by dragging a ...

Metabot: Metamaterial stretches and moves in the magnetic field Metabots are robots and a kind of composite material at the same time. It develops a wide range of properties.

For a flying saucer-like curvature engine, the required magnetic field strength is 2.15 × 103 T, with an energy density of 1.8 × 1012 J/m3 and a total energy requirement of 7.36 × 1015 J.

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

For the development of a magnetic field compensation system suited for the open end of the cylindrical magnetic shell, magnetic field distributions were characterized on the axis of the magnetic shell ...

Magnetic fields are everywhere in the universe. Of course, there's Earth's magnetic field, which deflects dangerous cosmic radiation, wiggles our compasses, and guides flocks of migrating birds.
