Discover three captivating science experiments that bring physics concepts to life! Watch as a water balloon burst in slow ...

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

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

A strange, glowing form of matter called dusty plasma turns out to be incredibly sensitive to magnetic fields. Researchers found that even weak fields can change how tiny particles grow, simply by ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners reach the end of their lifetime, hospitals have to deal with a large piece of electronic waste, stuffed with potentially dangerous parts. Unless a ...

China has set a new benchmark in extreme magnet science after researchers built the ...

The user magnet, installed in the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility in Beijing's Huairou district, is the world's only superconducting magnet capable of providing ultra-strong magnetic fields ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same time. Since superconductivity usually relies on electron pairing that can be ...
