👉 Watch the video of Sarah’s science experiment at Northwest Crossing Elementary! Hello parents, teachers and students! Try to make this floating magnetic ghosts with Meteorologist Sarah Spivey and ...

A team of physicists and engineers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory built a twisting fusion reactor known as a stellarator that uses permanent magnets, showcasing a potentially cost-effective ...

Producing oxygen is tricky under weightless conditions in space. But the addition of a simple magnet can simplify the process of electrolysis, scientists report. The electrolysis system aboard the ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...
