HOUSTON – (Feb. 15, 2022) – Phonons are collective atomic vibrations, or quasiparticles, that act as the main heat carriers in a crystal lattice. Under certain circumstances, their properties can be ...

Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny, shiny ...

There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when ...

At some point, you've probably heard the stern warning: Never put magnets near your electronics! It's advice so ingrained in tech culture that it feels like a law of physics. But is it true? Was it ...

Long-term satellite measurements show that Earth’s magnetic field is changing faster and more unevenly than expected, driven ...

If you want a strong magnet, the obvious answer is to buy one. However, for a variety of reasons, you might want to combine several smaller magnets. There are a few ways to do this, but the Halbach ...

Scientists have further developed a way of controlling nuclear fusion reactions, marking another forward step in the rush to achieve a clean, virtually limitless source of energy. Nuclear fusion ...

If you drop strong magnets onto a plate of copper, something remarkable happens: the magnets slow down before hitting the surface and appear to levitate slightly, like the copper is another magnet, ...

Researchers have developed a magnetic nanomaterial that can kill bone cancer cells and support bone regeneration at the same ...
