Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

A newly discovered mechanism known as microtube implosion could make it possible to generate magnetic fields 1000 times stronger than any yet seen in the laboratory. According to the researchers who ...

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, their internal forces compete, causing constant rearrangements that ...

A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi has identified a previously unknown type of large-scale wave deep within the Sun, ...

Magnetic illusion: a long wire surrounded by a magnetic replicator generates a replica of the wire outside it. (Courtesy: Phys. Rev. Lett. 10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.177204) Physicists in the UK and ...

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 ...

In April 2019, the world was spellbound, if only for a moment, by an ominous void encircled by a half-halo of light. It was the first direct image of a black hole; more specifically, a supermassive ...

Three years of radiation data collected on the far side of the moon show that Earth’s magnetic field still reaches the lunar ...
