In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

The late physicist Joseph Polchinski once said the existence of magnetic monopoles is "one of the safest bets that one can make about physics not yet seen." In its quest for these particles, which ...

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.

Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...

Traditional radio-based systems often suffer severe attenuation underground, as soil and rock absorb or scatter electromagnetic waves. By contrast, magnetic induction uses low-frequency magnetic ...
