In a chilled lab where temperatures drop close to absolute zero, a speck of magnet hovers in place. This tiny magnet, levitating silently inside a special trap, may hold answers to one of the greatest ...

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton—the antimatter counterpart ...

A team of researchers has finally detected hidden magnetism in non-magnetic metals using only laser light—solving a 150-year ...

A University of Colorado Denver engineer is on the cusp of giving scientists a new tool that can help them turn sci-fi into reality.

Once in a great while, the exact $25 million tool you need is laying around, free for the taking.Free, that is, if you can move a delicate, complex piece of scientific equipment halfway across the ...

A new discovery reveals how a mysterious quantum spin excitation — a solitary spinon — can exist alone, hinting at advances ...

A team of researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has developed a novel technique that utilizes light to detect minute magnetic signals in everyday metals such as copper, gold, and aluminum.

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the ...

By repeatedly moving a metal tool through this stray field, each time further and further away from the magnet, the magnetic moment reduces until any magnetization has effectively vanished.
