THE careful instructions for the eighty-five experiments contained in this little book, together with the useful hints for the construction of apparatus, should serve very well to introduce young ...

I have talked about the course I teach for elementary education majors before (videos for education majors, Spring Course reflections). Anyway, the nature of the course is that students collect ...

There's always something new to learn at Tulsa’s Discovery Lab and this month’s experiment shows how electricity and magnets go together. "The very fascinating thing about electromagnets and ...

Hybrid magnet for "neutron scattering" experiments to be built. The planned magnet will produce a magnetic field between 25 tesla and 30 tesla -- more than half a million times stronger than the Earth ...

Many theories predict the existence of magnetic monopoles, but experiments have yet to see them. If you chop a magnet in half, you end up with two smaller magnets. Both the original and the new ...

It's not surprising that the powertrains of electric cars differ quite a bit from traditional internal-combustion engines. Although they have fewer moving parts, the rare-earth magnets that help power ...
