Magnetic cloaking has long sounded like a plot device from science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming a practical tool for managing the invisible forces that surround modern electronics. Instead of ...

Research teams led by Prof. Zeng Changgan and Zhang Hui from the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the ...

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, their internal forces compete, causing constant rearrangements that ...

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 ...

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting coil to 42 tesla, placing a device small enough to hold in one hand within ...

What is Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)? Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that allows the imaging and characterization of magnetic properties of materials at ...

Recent research shows that magnetic fields can spontaneously emerge in a plasma if the plasma has a temperature anisotropy. This mechanism is known as the Weibel instability. This new research is the ...
