Physicists at Argonne National Laboratory have found that magnetic particles suspended in water and subjected to an alternating magnetic field will form snake-shaped structures that can control the ...

A new study led by Dr. Dana Alina (Nazarbayev University), with key contributions from NU researchers Adel Umirbayeva, Alua Mukhash, and Danial ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Gravity, the force that keeps everything anchored to Earth, is predictable, at least most of the time. But there are places around the world where this fundamental law of nature seems to defy itself.

What is Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)? Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that allows the imaging and characterization of magnetic properties of materials at ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden published their findings in Advanced Materials, demonstrating a material that allows two competing magnetic forces to coexist within a single ...

Physicists have traced three of the four forces of nature — the electromagnetic force and the strong and weak nuclear forces — to their origins in quantum particles. But the fourth fundamental force, ...

All of the objects in our solar system are acted upon by forces. Forces are pushes or pulls. Every force has both a strength and a direction. Applying a force on something–like pushing a toy car–can ...
