Superconductivity is a phenomenon where certain materials can conduct electricity with zero resistance. Obviously, this has enormous technological advantages, which makes superconductivity one of the ...

Plus: Why are hurricanes so powerful? Are winds on other planets like they are on Earth? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the ...

This persnickety number determines the strength of magnetic fields. It figures in everything from motors and generators to audio speakers. Oh, and without it we’d live in eternal darkness.

A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup.

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

In the early days of our solar system, when the Sun was still young and the planets were barely formed, Jupiter wasn’t the gas giant we see today. In fact, today’s Jupiter would look like a midget in ...

Representation of bouncing ball. Adapted from reference [1]. Note that, the ball falls after being released from rest at point (A), and air resistance acts on it, which has the role of stealing energy ...

The film demonstrates an experiment using an apparatus to observe the behavior of electrons in a uniform magnetic field. It explains how electrons are accelerated by an electron gun and then deflected ...

The magnetic north pole, distinct from the geographic North Pole, is the point where Earth’s magnetic field lines converge. NASA via Rawpixel For decades, Earth’s magnetic north pole has been slowly ...

Ever pondered the extraordinary migratory journeys of birds? These feathered wanderers traverse thousands of kilometers, exhibiting an incredible knack for endurance and navigation that almost seems ...
