Discover the fascinating world of magnetism and electricity with these hands-on science experiments! This video demonstrates how to build a homemade compass, create a simple speaker, construct an ...

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

For nearly two centuries, physics textbooks have treated light as magnetically indifferent to the materials it passes through, a pure messenger of energy and information that leaves magnetic order ...

The complete magnetic properties of the prototype molecular magnet Mn 12 have been modelled, for the first time, by an international team of researchers. The calculations will be crucial for ...

Class 9 Physics Project Ideas 2024-25 For Students: Class 9 Physics Projects are an integral part of any board syllabus that is designed to enhance students' understanding of the course structure and ...

A groundbreaking experiment has possibly rewritten the rules of the universe. It couldn't have happened without this 17-ton electromagnet. In 2013, Popular Mechanics contributor William Herkewitz ...

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 ...

Water can freeze from liquid to solid ice or boil into a gas. In the kitchen these 'phase transitions' aren't smooth, but their discontinuous nature is smoothed out at high pressure. An international ...
