THE careful instructions for the eighty-five experiments contained in this little book, together with the useful hints for the construction of apparatus, should serve very well to introduce young ...

Create your own magnetic slime and discover how ferromagnetic materials interact with magnetic fields. You'll learn about magnetism, viscosity, and chemical reactions while making a fascinating ...

A new experiment offers the cleanest proof yet for magnetism-driven transitions of metals to insulators. Like all metals, silver, copper, and gold are conductors. Electrons flow across them, carrying ...

A recent series of experiments leveraged some of the nation's highest-powered nondestructive magnets to reveal an exotic new phase of matter at high magnetic fields. A recent series of experiments at ...

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...
