S cientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field ...

Back in 1832, the celebrated British physicist, Michael Faraday, carried out a set of experiments designed to answer a tantalizing question: could electricity be generated by Earth's rotation through ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

Superconductivity is a quantum property of materials entailing an electrical resistance of zero at very low temperatures. In ...

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through ...

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping ...

Experiments suggest an unusual magnetic material could help harness energy from Earth’s rotation. But not everyone is ...

In a first, physicists have directly seen Hofstadter’s butterfly—a long-sought-after fractal in the quantum realm ...

"It was a completely serendipitous discovery." Fedriani and his colleagues suspect these newly detected filaments are ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...

Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the best-tested theory in physics describing all electrical and magnetic interactions ...
