When we hear about moving objects with electricity, most of us imagine a "pulling force." Positive and negative charges ...

China achieves a superconducting magnet of 35.6 teslas, 700,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, setting a world record.

For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard numbers.

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...
