Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

The relationship between friction and load, quantified three centuries ago, has an exception when the interaction causes magnetic realignment. The discovery won’t let you off the hook when dragging ...

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic ...

A group of Chinese scientists want to build a magnetic launch system that spins up and then hammer throws cargo from the Moon’s surface, shooting it towards Earth. Solar panels and nuclear energy ...

An astronomer has proposed a bold model suggesting that the entire solar system is surrounded by a massive, magnetic tunnel. The model focuses on two major structures in the sky: the North Polar Spur ...

Kidney stones afflict approximately one in nine individuals, causing intense pain and serious infections. With over 1.3 million emergency room visits and healthcare expenditures exceeding $5 billion ...

The surface of the sun writhes and dances. Far from the still, whitish-yellow disk it appears to be from the ground, the sun sports twisting, towering loops and swirling cyclones that reach into the ...

A microfluidic system with channels lined with magnetic liquids can ease the flow of samples and safely transport delicate cells, possibly helping to miniaturize microfluidic devices (Nature 2020, DOI ...
