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 ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

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

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

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.

The magnet system designed by Sanavandi and Guo. (Courtesy: Wei Guo/FAMU-FSU College of Engineering) A new device that uses magnetic levitation to emulate the reduced gravities found on celestial ...

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 ...

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

Scientists have cracked a century-old physics mystery by detecting magnetic signals in non-magnetic metals using only light and a revamped laser technique. Previously undetectable, these faint ...

Magnets on rovers. The Spirit rover — and its companion Opportunity — both landed on opposite sides of Mars earlier this year, each carrying permanent magnets to collect airborne magnetic dust ...
