Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

Dice are about the simplest machines possible, and they’ve been used since before recorded history to generate random numbers. But no machine is so simple that a little needless complexity can’t make ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have demonstrated that stacking two quantum materials on top of each other ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into place like disciplined soldiers. However, ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

Recently, a group of researchers discovered a novel way to achieve spin-valve effects using kagome quantum magnets. "This approach uses a prototype device made from the kagome magnet TmMn₆Sn₆," ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...
