A creative experiment showing how magnetic sand can be shaped into a unique ring using an iPhone. The content explores the material’s properties and the process of turning a simple element into a ...

Demonstrates how electricity can be produced from magnets through various experiments. It explains that electric currents can create magnetic effects, forming electromagnets that only work while ...

There is now a new addition to the magnetic family: thanks to experiments at the Swiss Light Source SLS, researchers have proved the existence of altermagnetism. The experimental discovery of this new ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...

Fusion power may be a more realistic prospect than you think. As Motherboard reports, researchers at the Energy Department's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that a new magnetic ...

Magnetic storage devices, like a computer's hard disk drive, utilize magnets to represent binary data. However, as these ...

This activity is part of the Science Friday Sun Camp collection! The Sun generates an incredible amount of energy, energy that you can see and feel as light and heat. Other forms of energy from the ...
