Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

The relationship between friction and load, quantified three centuries ago, has an exception when the interaction causes ...

Create your own magnetic slime and discover how ferromagnetic materials interact with magnetic fields. You'll learn about magnetism, viscosity, and chemical reactions while making a fascinating ...

Historically, prior to 1820, electricity and magnetism were thought to be separate entities of nature. On April 21, 1820, Hans Christian Oersted, a Danish physi ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

The Princeton Physics Lab has built a Stellarator nuclear fusion reactor prototype using permanent magnets. This is a scientific first that enables mostly off the shelf magnet for simple and low cost ...

Sparks fly: the electromagnetic flux-compression experiment lights up as a huge current is delivered to magnetic coils. (Courtesy: Shojiro Takeyama) Researchers in Japan have created a long-lasting ...

A new study suggests subatomic particles called muons are breaking the laws of physics. This may mean a mysterious force is affecting muons, which would make our understanding of physics incomplete.
