Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for things like turbines we use to ...

This video explains how magnets work and how magnetic fields are generated by the movement of electric charges. Magnetic ...

Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from space weather like cosmic radiation and charged particles from the Sun. The southern Atlantic anomaly shrinks that protective bubble, but not so much ...

Magnetic separation has become increasingly popular in biomedical science and industry. This technology uses magnetic properties of micro/nano-sized particles to separate macromolecules of interest, ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s magnetosphere is charged opposite to what was once believed. The area of space influenced by Earth’s magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. Within this ...

Magnetic bead separation is a fast, effective, and clean process that scientists use as an alternative to filtration and centrifugation techniques for separation. Magnetic beads and particles can be ...

Cells at the bottom of a liquid medium begin levitating, then hovering at a particular height. With no physical contact, an ...

In MFM, a magnetic-coated AFM probe interacts with magnetic field gradients from the sample, causing detectable forces on the probe's cantilever. To focus on magnetic interactions, MFM is often ...

The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.
