RLS disrupts sleep and daily life—but evidence-based treatments like iron, dopamine drugs, and lifestyle therapies offer real ...

Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an ...

The discovery of a metal-rich star packed with both light and heavy elements hints at exotic stellar explosions and the role ...

Rare earths are the world’s most in-demand elements. Marco Magrini reports on the battle for their future — and ours ...

Scientists working on the Muon g-2 experiment, hosted by the US Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, have released their third and final measurement of the muon magnetic ...

Iron filings trace out the lines of a magnetic field in three dimensions. Iron filings will line up parallel to a magnetic field, making the pattern of the field visible. This is a simple Snack to ...

Water is a main component of grapes. When you bring the magnet toward the grape—the diamagnetic material—you induce an electric current in the atoms of the grape that make them magnetic in a way that ...

Many of those lunar samples show signs of exposure to strong magnetic fields comparable to Earth's, yet the Moon doesn't have such a field today. So, how did the moon rocks get their magnetism?

For decades, scientists have been trying to understand why some rocks on the moon are strongly magnetized even though the moon has no magnetic field today. Moon rocks brought to Earth during NASA ...
