Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) have developed an innovative method ...

S cientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field ...

grades 6-8 Electric currents and magnets can exert a force on each other. Information can be carried by many media, including sound, light, and objects. In this century, the ability to code ...

Controlling magnetism in a device is not easy; unusually large magnetic fields or lots of electricity are needed, which are ...

As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the electrons that circle the heart of the atom. Physicists do not wholly understand ...

As with all currents, the induced current creates a magnetic field around itself. Note that this magnetic field opposes the original change. For example, if a magnet is moved into a coil of wire ...

Therefore, recent progress in the physics of magnetism and the application of spin currents has progressed in tandem with the nanofabrication technology of magnets and the engineering of ...

Where does the force come from? Electric currents and magnetic fields are closely related. If you have one, you often have (or can make) the other. The braking force in the demonstration is due to ...

Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into ...
