A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

A new class of magnetism called altermagnetism has been imaged for the first time in a new study. The findings could lead to the development of new magnetic memory devices with the potential to ...

Discover the unexpected magnetic properties of burnt matchsticks in this engaging science experiment. Watch as we demonstrate how charcoal and ash fragments from burnt matches are attracted to both ...

However, the exact nature of this 'map' has been the subject of ongoing debate. In a carefully designed experiment, warblers were exposed to artificially altered magnetic inclination and declination ...

In response to an informal request from the National Science Foundation, the National Research Council convened the Committee on Opportunities in High Magnetic Field Science in mid-2003. The committee ...
