This video explores the nature of magnets and how they create invisible magnetic forces. It explains the origin of magnetism, how magnetic fields are formed, and the role of electrons in generating ...

A magnetic flow meter relies on Faraday's Law of Induction to measure the flow of a fluid. Magnets outside the pipe create a ...

A team that has developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at ...

If our planet flips and no one’s around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Scientists have managed to put a chilling soundtrack to the flipping of Earth’s magnetic field — and the result is ...
