If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

A strange magnetic force may be about to change the way we transfer energy. Our technology has progressed exponentially in recent years. Nowadays, nearly every appliance in our home is jam-packed with ...

How do magnets create a force? Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for ...

Magnetic separation has become increasingly popular in biomedical science and industry. This technology uses magnetic properties of micro/nano-sized particles to separate macromolecules of interest, ...

The magnetic North Pole is on a journey toward Russia in a way that has not been seen before. The British Geological Survey (BGS) works with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to ...

Magnetic levitation is used to float everything from lightbulbs to trains, with varying levels of success, but usually it requires a power source. Now, scientists in Japan have developed a way to make ...
