One of the commonly used tools is the lab magnetic stirrer. This works in such a manner that it creates a magnetic field that ...

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

Scientists have discovered quantum vibrations in a crystal that link heat, sound, and magnetism for the first time.

Historically, prior to 1820, electricity and magnetism were thought to be separate entities of nature. On April 21, 1820, ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...
