This means that their magnetism is there all the time and cannot be turned on or off as it can with an electromagnet. Converting a magnet to a non-magnet is called demagnetisation. Magnets are ...

A permanent magnet is always magnetic. It has an invisible magnetic field. Only certain materials, such as iron, feel a magnetic force. Permanent magnets can come in lots of different shapes and ...

There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when ...

We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the ...

sustained the strongest magnetic field using a resistive magnet, at 42.02 tesla. This surpasses the previous record, which ...

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, as the position of the magnetic North Pole is officially ...

Scientists released an update to a model that maps the ever-moving pole and has significant implications for navigation ...

Scientists successfully induced a new magnetic state in an antiferromagnet using only light, which could have big implications for data storage technologies.
