Engineers at the University of Delaware have uncovered a way to bridge magnetism and electricity through magnons—tiny waves ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that the charge polarity of the magnetosphere at the equator and the poles was the same, ...

Magnets may be invisible, but their impact is everywhere. From powering electric motors to keeping your phone speaker working ...

In this three week storyline unit, students investigate a maglev train and the electromagnetic forces that cause a maglev train to levitate and provide the source of propulsion for the train. The ...

DR. O. HEAVISIDE has investigated (NATURE, April 19) the slow motion of a charged conducting sphere through a uniform electric field, in a direction parallel to the electric force of the field, and ...

This video explains how magnets work and how magnetic fields are generated by the movement of electric charges. Magnetic ...

Electromagnetic fields as they would be generated by positive and negative electric charges, both at rest and in motion (top), as well as those that would theoretically be created by magnetic ...

In a metal like copper, however, the outer electrons swim around freely and are shared by all the atoms. That’s why ...

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 ...

Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New ...
