S cientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field ...

Create your own magnetic slime and discover how ferromagnetic materials interact with magnetic fields. You'll learn about magnetism, viscosity, and chemical reactions while making a fascinating ...

Magnets aren't attracted to copper, but when the two come together they can appear to defy gravity. Download the Magnetic Copper PDF (384 Kb). Adobe Acrobat is required. SAFETY: Neodymium magnets ...

CAYANA: Aren't magnets great? They can move other magnetic objectswithout even touching them. Take one of these bar magnets, forexample, right. The red end is the north end. The blue end is ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

Experiments suggest that an unusual magnetic material can help harness energy from the planet’s rotation. But not everyone is convinced. Electricity can be generated from the energy of Earth ...

With today's data rates of only a few hundred megabytes per second, access to digital information remains relatively slow. Initial experiments have already shown a promising new strategy: Magnetic ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...

In 1963, Fred Vine, Drummond Matthews, and others found that the crust surrounding the midocean ridges showed alternating bands -- each band magnetized with a polarity opposite the surrounding bands.
