Dice are about the simplest machines possible, and they’ve been used since before recorded history to generate random numbers. But no machine is so simple that a little needless complexity can’t make ...

A team of physicists at the Technical University of Denmark has found the reason a spinning magnet can cause a secondary magnet to levitate without the need for stabilization. In their paper published ...

The term "magnet" describes materials that can attract or repel other magnetic objects without touching them directly. In the simplest terms, the emergence of magnetism can be described by a model in ...

Scientists demonstrated a contactless way to move and rotate conductive objects that could someday help robots safely handle ...

Recently, a group of researchers discovered a novel way to achieve spin-valve effects using kagome quantum magnets. "This approach uses a prototype device made from the kagome magnet TmMn₆Sn₆," ...
