Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Two of the same pole will repel each other, while opposites attract. Only certain materials, especially those that contain iron, can be magnets. And there’s ...

A new approach developed by Boston College physics researchers creates synthetic layered magnets with a unprecedented level of control over their magnetic properties The magnetic properties of a ...

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 ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

Zoltan Fodor receives funding from DFG, BMBF. When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at ...
