The video explains the concepts of magnetic, electric, and gravitational fields using simple demonstrations. It shows how iron filings reveal the magnetic field around a magnet, how charged ...

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

Earth's magnetic field is fading. Today it is about 10 percent weaker than it was when German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss started keeping tabs on it in 1845, scientists say.

Many grade school students perform a simple physics experiment by using iron fillings to outline a magnetic field. Seizing on their inner-child, physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum ...

From iron filings to advanced visualization methods, each approach captures the power and movement of magnetic forces, turning science into a captivating visual experience.

Iron filings can be fun to play with, although we don’t think we’ve ever had any this fine. If you prefer your magnetic field visualizations to be higher-tech, we have the answer.

This allowed the team to detect and measure the unseen magnetic field lines, much the same way iron filings can reveal the magnetic field around a magnet.

Magnetism and electromagnetism occur because of the magnetic fields around magnets and around electric currents.

Art and science can sometimes have a magnetic attraction for one another. In a new set of images, Flint Weisser , an MFA candidate at New York's Pratt Institute, revisits the old iron-filings ...

The iron filings in the image become induced magnets when they are near the bar magnet. They lose most or all of their magnetism when they are removed from the magnetic field.

The only drawback is that your homemade magnetic slime won’t store very well, as the iron filings will slowly start to rust because of the water in the white glue leaving you with a nasty brown ...
