Explore the fascinating world of magnets with a variety of fun and educational experiments using everyday objects. Watch as we test the magnetic properties of apples, stack iron coins using a ...

In this video I show you 6 experiments with magnets: 1. Apples and magnet. For this experiment you need to build suspension ...

Friction usually announces itself through contact. A chair scraping across a floor, a tire gripping asphalt, a hand sliding ...

Physicists investigated an unusual arrangement of three magnetic "swirls" - so called magnetic vortices - in a thin magnetic film. Their experiments unraveled the dynamic core movements of these ...

Earth's magnetic field, a familiar directional indicator over long distances, is routinely probed in applications ranging from geology to archaeology. Now it has provided the basis for a technique ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...

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 ...

BOTHE and Kolhörster 1 wore the first to show that the cosmic rays manifest themselves to us as highly penetrating corpuscular rays. Direct experimental data on the nature as well as on the energy of ...

Scientists are closer than ever to unraveling a process called magnetic reconnection that triggers explosive phenomena throughout the universe. Solar flares, northern lights and geomagnetic storms ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field ...

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 ...
