Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for things like turbines we use to ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is one of the modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). As the name implies, it is used to map magnetic characteristics. MFM investigates the local magnetic fields at ...

Scientists have observed atomic magnetic fields, the origin of magnetic forces, for the first time using an innovative Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM they developed. The joint development ...

From cardiovascular disease to cancer to gastrointestinal tract conditions, the incredible strength of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) rare earth magnets is opening up exciting new opportunities for ...

When a charge is placed in a magnetic field, the charge experiences a magnetic force wherein the two conditions: 1) the charge is moving relative to the magnetic field 2) the charge’s velocity has a ...

The little ornaments holding pictures to your refrigerator and the giant cranes picking up cars in a junkyard are all using magnets. Magnets attract objects made of certain metals. They can also push ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

Magnets are found all over the place. They hold items on the refrigerator while also holding the door shut. Our banking cards have magnetic strips — as do speakers, motors, and automatic doors.

Magnetic forces, like the problematic but not, radioactive energy of cell phones, diminishes with distance. The researchers set out to determine how far the magnetic field of those two Apple devices ...

Researchers have found that magnetic fields buried deep inside stars can survive their entire lifetimes and later reappear on ...
