Rice University researchers have used a magnetically levitated particle to search for ultraheavy dark matter, extending the ...

Scientists have used levitation to transform a tiny magnet into a detector that can sense some of nature’s faintest forces.

Science supply stores like Home Science Tools or Carolina Biological Online retailers like Amazon, where they're often sold as craft or hobby magnets Hardware stores, sometimes in their specialty ...

Most experiments hunt for particles around the size of atoms, but some theories suggest dark matter could be far heavier, so massive that a single particle might rival the weight ...

Physics is supposed to be predictable. Drop a ball, and gravity pulls it down. Heat water, and it boils. Light travels in straight lines. Yet throughout history, scientists have encountered ...

China has set a new benchmark in extreme magnet science after researchers built the strongest all-superconducting user magnet ever. On Tuesday, the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that a new ...

In a new study, scientists have investigated the newly discovered class of altermagnetic materials for their thermal properties, offering insights into the distinctive nature of altermagnets for ...

Powerful magnetic fields may tear apart and trap giant stellar eruptions before the plasma can escape into space.

What scientists increasingly understand is that bird navigation is far more complex than simply following familiar landmarks. Through an interplay of light, quantum spin chemistry, specialized ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

The U.S. national laboratories and universities, along with industrial partners, have a long history of leadership and have made critical contributions to the development of accelerator magnets for ...
