When we think of cosmic power, magnetism doesn’t usually come to mind. The Sun’s nuclear furnace churns out blistering heat and blinding light, but magnetism plays no role in the fusion process, which ...

Researchers have developed a low-power microchip that uses a combination of microfluidics and magnetic switches to trap and transport magnetic beads. The novel transport chip may have applications in ...

The magnetic field in the center of the Milky Way is at least 10 times stronger than the rest of the galaxy, according to new research. An international research project involving the University of ...

Thin layers of two non-magnetic metals – copper and manganese – become magnets when they are in contact with buckminsterfullerene molecules. This discovery has been made by physicists in the UK, US ...

Physicists have known for many decades that ordinary stars are powered by nuclear fusion, and have discovered other types of star that rely on alternative sources of energy, such as gravity, ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the Monitor ...

"Anytime I was around her or I saw her, it was a magnetic attraction to this force of energy," Kanye West said of meeting now-wife Kim Kardashian West If Kim Kardashian West could turn back time, her ...

Levita Magnetics’s platform has been used to perform the first-ever magnetic robotic-assisted surgical procedure. The use of magnets helps the Menlo Park, CA-based company stand out in the quickly ...

Magnetic Fields mastermind Stephin Merritt loves the Jesus & Mary Chain’s “Psychocandy.” Which makes sense if you step back and look at Merritt’s mercurial tastes. “Psychocandy” may seem an odd muse ...

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado Boulder (CU) have developed a low-power microchip that uses a combination of microfluidics and ...

Whether the application is at an automobile shredder yard, a material recovery facility (MRF), a C&D recycler or a slag recovery operation, magnets are capable of performing somewhere within these ...
