Tiny levitated magnets are able to avoid contact friction, making them useful for detecting extremely weak forces and magnetic fields and acting as ultralow-noise quantum sensors and precision ...

Rice University researchers have used a magnetically levitated particle to search for ultraheavy dark matter, extending the hunt for some of the heaviest possible forms of the invisible matter thought ...

Pressing a tiny crystal between two titanium plates was enough to shift the magnetic makeup of manganese telluride and iron ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

An isolated magnet’s intrinsic angular momentum induces gyroscopic motion, an observation that could lead to ultrasensitive magnetometers. Spin around. The magnetic moment (orange arrow) of a ...

On June 3, a flatbed truck arrived at the front gates of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) carrying a piece of machinery that could influence the course ...

Magnets, those everyday objects we stick to our fridges, all share a unique characteristic: they always have both a north and a south pole. Even if you tried breaking a magnet in half, the poles would ...

MILWAUKEE - Tanzania Sewell from Club SciKidz Greater Milwaukee shares two experiments you can do at home featuring air pressure and magnetism. Items Needed - Clear glass vase or mason jar, a shallow ...
