This video explains what magnets are and how magnetic fields are generated through the alignment of atomic structures.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

Scientists have discovered that Earth’s magnetosphere is charged opposite to what was once believed. The area of space ...

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 ...

Magnetic sectors were the mass analyzers used in the early days of mass spectrometry. Those instruments were quite large, and today, other, more compact, types of mass analyzers capable of separating ...

Researchers in China have shown that applying strain to a composite material using an electric field induces a large and reversible caloric effect. This novel way of enhancing the caloric effect ...

Like a shaggy dog in springtime, some black holes have to shed. New computer simulations reveal how black holes might discard their magnetic fields. Unlike dogs with their varied fur coats, isolated ...
