#83: Like Magnets, Light Can Attract and Repel Itself The attraction and repulsion effects make up what is known as the “optical force,” a newly observed phenomenon that works on microscopic scales.

From everyday fridge magnets to industrial electromagnets, understanding magnetization helps us grasp how these invisible forces shape our world. Join us to explore the science behind why and how ...

Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets—objects that repel or attract each other. This powerful physical phenomenon is one component of electromagnetism, one of the fundamental forces of nature.

Magnetism is an invisible force that can attract or repel certain materials, particularly metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt. Every magnet has two poles: A north pole and a south pole. Opposite ...

In the free resource for teachers, Mwaksy and Greg observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others. They explore the behaviour and everyday uses of ...

Magnets attract metal objects. Elements - A substance that cannot be broken down into any other substance. Magnet – A magnet is a metal that can attract (pull) or repel (push) ...

IBM physicist Stuart Parkin proposed "magnetic racetrack memory," in which bits are stored as the presence (1) or absence (0) of a domain wall. But it turns out that these domain walls—barriers of ...

“Magnets should not hover when they are close together. Usually, they will either attract or repel each other. But if you spin one of the magnets, it turns out, you can achieve this hovering.
