How do magnets create a force? Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new method for parameterizing machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLIP) to simulate magnetic materials, making the prediction of their ...

Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...

In a recent study published in the journal Science Robotics, a team of researchers created a magnetic microrobot probe that can quantify the stiffness and traction force of tumor cell colonies and ...

Could the secret to how long we live be linked to Earth’s magnetism?

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in tissue engineering by using magnetic forces to guide the growth of lab-grown blood vessels with unprecedented accuracy. The new technique, developed ...

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 ...

This activity is part of the Science Friday Sun Camp collection! The Sun generates an incredible amount of energy, energy that you can see and feel as light and heat. Other forms of energy from the ...

General Electric Co.’s laboratories in Schenectady last week demonstrated (see cut, p. 23) a tiny magnet, about the size of a pellet of buckshot, holding aloft a five pound flatiron. The magnet weighs ...
