But some metals are magnetic and some are not. The most common magnetic metal is iron. You don't see too many objects made of pure iron but you do see lots of different things made of steel, which has ...

Magnets are attracted to (or repelled by, depending on their charge) objects made of materials such as iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt, as any of these materials can be made into magnets.

Take two magnets, or a magnet and a piece of superconductor, which will then have opposing magnetic fields." The repelling force lifts the magnetic object against gravity. The method used in the ...

Add dolphins to the list of magnetosensitive animals, French researchers say. Dolphins are indeed sensitive to magnetic stimuli, as they behave differently when swimming near magnetized objects.

Dolphins are indeed sensitive to magnetic stimuli, as they behave differently when swimming near magnetized objects. So says Dorothee Kremers and her colleagues at Ethos unit of the Université de ...

Magnets, mating and metallic objects—cautionary tales from the MRI scanner. by Adam Taylor, ... metals that can be attracted by magnets because they contain iron.

A study released on Monday, Sept. 29 found that dolphins are attracted to magnets. The study looked at if the animal is magnetosensitive, or able to detect Earth's magnetic field.

Turns out dolphins have a certain magnetic quality, and not just figuratively but literally. A new study published in the journal Naturwissenschaften -- The Science of Nature, reveals that the ...

However, ferromagnetic materials like iron are intensely attracted to the magnets, turning objects such as firearms into dangerous projectiles. Similar Accidents Highlight the Risks.

The device consisted of a chamber filled with a paramagnetic fluid - a fluid that is attracted to a magnetic field - with magnets at the top and bottom. Image source, George M. Whitesides group ...
