The video explains the concepts of magnetic, electric, and gravitational fields using simple demonstrations. It shows how iron filings reveal the magnetic field around a magnet, how charged objects ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between gravity and magnetic fields in some of our galaxy's most dynamic star forming ...

Controlled magnetic gradients The atom chip used to create the magnet-based interferometer in the experiment. (Courtesy: Yair Margalit) An Israeli-led collaboration has used atom-chip technology to ...

The scientists chemically coated each graphite particle with a layer of electrically insulating silica. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps silica bind to the surface of the graphite. The coated graphite ...

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 ...

What if all of nature’s forces can be woven together into one comprehensive force? The unification of forces is the idea that it’s possible to view all of nature’s forces as manifestations of one ...

Salvatore Cezar Pais is a US Navy researcher. Salvatore has three amazing patents that would be incredible breakthroughs in physics if they are true. The least extreme is a patent for Piezoelectricity ...

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 ...

A new argument explores how the growth of disorder could cause massive objects to move toward one another. Physicists are both interested and skeptical. Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his ...
