In a tokamak—a donut-shaped device that uses magnetic fields to confine plasma—sudden disruptions can occur. During these events, electrons can accelerate to near the speed of light, creating a ...

Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...

In a paper published January 21 in Nature, a team led by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have run complex numerical simulations of plasma flows that, while leading to turbulence, ...

Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

The science pros at TKOR show how magnetic slime interacts with giant magnets.

Alpine newts are born and live as larvae in puddles, ponds and streams. After metamorphosis, while still young, they leave the water and spend almost the entire year in the dense, humid forests of ...

What are some of the spookiest experiments we've ever done? Although science often advances through tried-and-tested methods, sometimes scientists have to find creative ways to test their hypotheses.

What if your mind could do more than just think? What if it could manipulate the world around you? That’s the idea behind one of Pop Mech’s most compelling recent stories, “The CIA Watched Him Bend ...

We don’t fully understand why some people are more attractive to mosquitoes, but two decades of studies has found that some mosquitos are partial to the taste of beer. Here’s the deal… If you’ve ever ...

SHREVEPORT, La. — A Caddo Magnet High School student is bringing international recognition to northwest Louisiana after earning first place at the world’s largest pre-college science competition. Maya ...

Chinese scientists set world record with magnetic field 700,000 times Earth’s. Credit: ASIPP In Hefei, China, physicists switched on a new machine that pushed magnetic fields to record strength. As ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...
