Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

Magnets can attract or repel without even touching, but how do they do that? This video breaks down what magnets are and how ...

"A strong magnetic field is very important for life on a planet," study lead Miki Nakajima, an associate professor in the ...

For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

Magnets - how do they work? We've got the answer for you, plus a bunch of weird fun magnet facts - where they got their names, why hitting some stuff with a hammer can turn it into magnets, and even ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now shown that the Kondo effect behaves very differently depending on spin ...

Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and stores more data in less space. That's the promise of antiferromagnets, ...

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...
