The strong force is essential in particle physics, binding subatomic particles like quarks into protons and neutrons, and ...

For nearly 30 years, scientists have theorized that such a vortex should be possible within the realm of electromagnetism. In ...

Scientists in China have developed the world’s strongest resistive magnet, which produced a steady magnetic field of 42 Tesla ...

Field of dreams In Einstein's day, the strong and weak forces had not yet been discovered, but he found the existence of even two distinct forces—gravity and electromagnetism—deeply troubling.

Vortex rings are pretty cool, and electromagnetism even cooler. Now, a team of physicists have found a way to combine the two ...

Magnets like this one are great at picking up metal objects like these, but once you pick them up how do you let them go? For that you need a special type of magnet – an electromagnet.

Professor Brian Cox has divided people after 'ruling out' a common belief while discussing the possibility of life after ...

We feel like we freely make choices every day but some scientists have claimed that free will is an illusion. What does science actually say about free will? And do we really know?

The particle moves at the speed of light, making it almost impossible to detect. But some scientists are trying to change ...

What's the best way to wake a giant after a long nap? "Very carefully, and with a lot of planning," said a grinning John Galambos. He was the project director for the Proton Power Upgrade project ...

Black holes are mysterious objects. One longstanding question has been whether rotating black holes, which are so powerful ...
