Scientists from TU Delft (The Netherlands) have observed quantum spin currents in graphene for the first time without using ...

Magnetic stirring bars are the coolest piece of equipment you’ll see in a high-school chemistry lab. They’re a great way for agitating a solution without having to stand there manually and do ...

Magnetic measurements in household and work environments demonstrate measurements below 0.1mT, or 1G, at distances greater than 16cm, or 6.3in, from various appliances and tools.

Trapped electrons traveling in circular loops at extreme speeds inside graphene quantum dots are highly sensitive to external magnetic fields and could be used as novel magnetic field sensors with ...

The scientists now, for the first time, have experimentally implemented a so-called quantum resistance standard that can operate without an externally applied magnetic field.

The job of a catalyst is to ultimately speed up reactions, which could reduce an hour-long process into several minutes. It has recently been shown that using external magnetic fields to modulate ...

Lodestone, a naturally-occurring iron oxide, was the first persistently magnetic material known to humans. The Han Chinese used it for divining boards 2,200 years ago; ancient Greeks puzzled over ...

Robots without batteries, motors or electronics can lack power, but a tiny gearbox driven by an external magnetic field enabled one soft robot to jump almost 40 times its height.

The appropriately named "magnetic slime robot" doesn't need any internal electronics -- it's a combination of several different materials, allowing it to be controlled with external magnetic fields.
