Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

A mysterious magnetic property of subatomic particles called muons hints that new fundamental particles may be lurking undiscovered. In a painstakingly precise experiment, muons’ gyrations within a ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...

Magnets are essential tools that help scientists explore the deepest mysteries of physics, materials, and energy. While everyday magnets feel powerful, they are far behind the massive machines built ...

The muon’s mysteries continue to leave physicists spellbound. Last year, an experiment suggested that the elementary particle had inexplicably strong magnetism, possibly breaking a decades-long streak ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. For scientists and dreamers alike, one of the greatest hopes for a ...

According to the program, its events have impacted more than 300,000 people, including individuals from underrepresented groups who had the chance to experience physics in a new and engaging way. The ...
