Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in graphene and magnetic waves in specially engineered materials. By designing a ...

Skyrmions, in which electron spins inside a magnet are arranged like vortices, are a key structure in next-generation spintronics technology. KAIST researchers have shown that skyrmions can form using ...

But powerful magnets are usually large and energy hungry. Chukun Gao at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and her colleagues sought to build a small ultra-strong magnet that would ...

Magnets can pull objects closer or push them away without even touching. This video explains why magnets attract and repel, and how magnetic poles and fields make this possible. A simple and clear ...

The science pros at TKOR heat and melt magnets to reveal their hidden magnetic properties under extreme conditions. Supreme Court gives Trump — and the rest of the GOP — a gift in disguise Map shows ...

New observations are helping scientists peer beneath the Sun’s surface, revealing where its magnetic activity may truly begin ...

One of the most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the ...
