Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

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 work ...

No matter how its done, with whatever level of fakery, magnetic levitation just looks cool. We don’t know about you, but merely walking past the tackiest gadget shop, the displays of levitating and ...

Goudsmit Magnetics, based in Waalre in the Netherlands, has launched a rotating Cleanflow magnetic separator that can be cleaned without stopping production. It is compatible with free-fall lines in a ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and memory.

Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In ...

Oh, those twinkling, twinkling little stars. They make the night sky seem so peaceful, so idyllic, so quiet. It’s hard to believe that they are actually powerful furnaces, where explosive power, ...
