Physicists in the US, Europe and Korea have produced a long-lasting light-driven magnetic state in an antiferromagnetic material for the first time. While their project started out as a fundamental ...
America developed scatterable mines in the 1960s, during the Vietnam war. These weigh only one-fifth as much as traditional mines, but are still powerful enough to destroy a tank; they are triggered ...
Magnetic levitation (maglev) systems utilize magnetic forces to lift and propel vehicles, such as trains, without physical contact with the tracks. This technology offers numerous advantages ...
Companies and collectors alike love to brag about their anti-magnetic watches and how many gauss they can withstand. If you’ve wondered what that means and why it’s a big deal, you’re surely not alone ...
