In a small workshop setting, one builder has taken a familiar problem and approached ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research ...

A magnet only one atom thick could be the secret to ultra-efficient AI chips. Discover how this physics breakthrough impacts ...

New nitride materials could let electricity control hidden magnetic spin patterns, pointing toward faster and more stable ...

Inside a concrete-and-steel facility in Devens, Massachusetts, a crane lowered a 20-ton high-temperature superconducting ...

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 ...

Electric motors are everywhere—from the cars we drive to the appliances in our homes—but most rely on rare earth magnets that come with high costs and environmental challenges. A new wave of ...

The close connection of electricity and magnetism is one of the cornerstones of modern physics. This connection has a crucial role from a fundamental point of view and in practical applications, ...

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 ...
