If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions ...

But some metals are magnetic and some are not. The most common magnetic metal is iron. You don't see too many objects made of pure iron but you do see lots of different things made of steel, which has ...

Magnetars are a class of neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. These incredibly dense objects are central in the landscape of extreme phenomena such as hypernovae, fast ...

A breakthrough simulation reveals how magnetars form and evolve, solving a key mystery about their magnetic origins.

Pictures may enliven us, but other data, such as information about magnetic fields, add a huge amount to our understanding of ...

Researchers from the Department of Physics have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic ...

Superconductors aside, these devices are pretty much all operating in the same way; an object with a permanent rare-earth magnet is held in a stable position between a pair of electromagnets one ...

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have performed high-resolution observations of a nearby ...

Magnetism is a force we can’t see. Something is magnetic if it can pull another magnetic object towards it. Just like these fridge magnets. A magnet attracts or repels things made from certain ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method that makes objects on a magnetic field invisible within a particle stream. Until now, this so-called cloaking had only been ...
