Scientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field using a magnetic tube resting stationary on the planet’s surface. But before ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei of ...

A research team at the University of Tokyo has built a fluorescence microscopy system that can detect fleeting magnetic ...

Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

The late physicist Joseph Polchinski once said the existence of magnetic monopoles is "one of the safest bets that one can make about physics not yet seen." In its quest for these particles, which ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...
