The bundle of magnets at the heart of the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory's (PPPL) National ...

However, researchers at MIT have discovered that both these contradictory properties live side by side in a rare form of ...

The magnetic field around a circular loop of wire is similar to that of a bar magnet. When an electric current flows through the loop, it generates a magnetic field. Inside the loop, the magnetic ...

First let us understand what magnets are. Electromagnets work by passing electricity through a wire wrapped around an iron core. The electric current creates a magnetic field, and when the current ...

Deciphering the universe’s secrets is partly done through observation, but just as important are solid models of the forces ...

If you put a magnetic field near your body, it's believed things will go back to normal. Ions like calcium and potassium help your cells send signals. In tests, scientists have seen magnets change ...

How a Generator Works When an electric current flows through a wire, it generates a three-dimensional magnetic force field around the wire, similar to that surrounding a bar magnet. Magnets are ...

A new simulation suggests a massive asteroid impact may have briefly supercharged the moon's magnetic field, leaving behind ...

much the same way iron filings can reveal the magnetic field around a magnet. The team thinks that the measured three-dimensional structure might create strong turbulence withing the ...
