Researchers have unveiled a new magnetic cloaking device that can render sensitive objects invisible to detection.

The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

Inspired by sea cucumbers, engineers have designed miniature robots that rapidly and reversibly shift between liquid and solid states. On top of being able to shape-shift, the robots are magnetic and ...

Magnets are found all over the place. They hold items on the refrigerator while also holding the door shut. Our banking cards have magnetic strips — as do speakers, motors, and automatic doors.

Truly great toys do more than just occupy your little one’s attention—they spark creativity, entertain, and teach. That’s exactly what makes so many magnetic toys such a worthwhile investment: They ...
