Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...
Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...
Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

Study proposes a new way skyrmions can form in magnets without exotic physics
A theoretical study posted to arXiv in early 2026 argues that magnetic skyrmions, tiny whirlpool-like spin textures inside magnets, can emerge from ordinary atomic-scale interactions rather than ...

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 ...
No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...
