Researchers at Rice University have found that gently squeezing a crystal of iron sulfide can change two of its unusual ...

Every year, millions of migratory birds travel between different geographical regions on Earth to find food, escape cold ...

The sun frequently flings plasma into space, but sightings of such eruptions on other stars are rare. Magnetic fields could explain why.

A year after its final muon magnetic anomaly announcement, the Muon g-2 collaboration reports a new measurement of a different property of the muon: its electric dipole moment. The work is published ...

Science supply stores like Home Science Tools or Carolina Biological Online retailers like Amazon, where they're often sold as craft or hobby magnets Hardware stores, sometimes in their specialty ...

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 ...

In interesting research, insights from ordinary supermarket grapes led researchers to boost quantum sensor performance. The study reveals that grape pairs generate localized magnetic field hotspots ...

Pigeons and other birds can do it. So can sea turtles and spiny lobsters, moths and mole rats, gray whales and big brown bats. Many members of the animal kingdom can detect the subtle undulations of ...

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 ...

THERE are few places on Earth where conditions get as extreme as they do at the National Ignition Facility near Los Angeles. At its heart, 192 lasers are trained on a gold cylinder roughly the size of ...
