Scientists at a German research lab have created an ultra-thin, flexible electronic skin (e-skin) that can detect and track ...

It is a common grade school experiment to wind some wire around a screw, power it up, and watch it pick up paper clips or other ferrous materials. It is also grade school science to show that ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear ...

Imagine navigating a virtual reality with contact lenses or operating your smartphone under water: This and more could soon be a reality thanks to innovative e-skins. A research team has developed an ...

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 team of scientists in South Korea has developed a new way to make high-performance permanent magnets without using costly heavy rare earth elements. This breakthrough could help reduce costs and ...

This one-way electric flow, known as rectification, directly reflects the chirality of the material and could serve as a way to "read" magnetic information.
