Nearly 200 years ago, a scientist named Michael Faraday tried experimenting to see whether Earth's magnetic field could help ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

Magnetic skyrmions are stable quasi-particles that can be generated in (some) ferromagnetic materials with conceivable solutions in electronics, assuming they can be created and moved at will. The ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...

'Soft robots,' medical devices and implants, and next-generation drug delivery methods could soon be guided with magnetism -- thanks to a metal-free magnetic gel developed by researchers. Carbon-based ...
