In the world of particle physics, you are never alone — quite literally. Every moment there is an invisible rainstorm of subatomic particles falling down on us from space. Unlike the kind of matter we ...

From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

Magnets keep strings suspended without anchor points, and pushing a magnet piece bends notes, so you get expressive sounds with simple moves.

Everyone knows that when you hold a compass in your hand the needle will point north thanks to Earth's magnetic field, but aside from simple navigation you probably don't spare much thought for our ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

Magnetic bead separation is a fast, effective, and clean process that scientists use as an alternative to filtration and centrifugation techniques for separation. Magnetic beads and particles can be ...
