When we think of cosmic power, magnetism doesn’t usually come to mind. The Sun’s nuclear furnace churns out blistering heat and blinding light, but magnetism plays no role in the fusion process, which ...

The magnetic field in the center of the Milky Way is at least 10 times stronger than the rest of the galaxy, according to new research. An international research project involving the University of ...

Researchers have developed a low-power microchip that uses a combination of microfluidics and magnetic switches to trap and transport magnetic beads. The novel transport chip may have applications in ...

The sun has a flair for putting on spectacular shows, and last month’s was a doozy. Images taken at various National Science Foundation-funded observatories caught our local star in the act of ...

Thin layers of two non-magnetic metals – copper and manganese – become magnets when they are in contact with buckminsterfullerene molecules. This discovery has been made by physicists in the UK, US ...

Levita Magnetics’s platform has been used to perform the first-ever magnetic robotic-assisted surgical procedure. The use of magnets helps the Menlo Park, CA-based company stand out in the quickly ...
