Not every metal is attracted to a magnet. If you have a magnet, try seeing what objects it will attract or repel. Iron fillings reveal a magnet's magnetic field. You can see a magnet's magnetic ...

But some metals are magnetic and some are not. The metals that are magnetic (attracted to magnets) are also the metals that can be made into magnets. The most common magnetic metal is iron which is ...

The solenoids serve double duty — first, they move pieces of flat “fridge magnet” material close enough to attract iron filings. Their second duty is of course provide a clock tick that will ...

In 1982, two researchers working independently of each other developed the neodymium–iron–boron magnet, which was stronger than any known magnet. It revolutionized the low-cost mass production ...

Speaking to The Independent, global geomagnetic field modeller for the British Geological Survey (BGS) Dr William Brown ...

with the power to attract iron. A steel needle stroked with such a lodestone became magnetic and around the year 1000 AD, the Chinese found that such a needle, when freely suspended, pointed north ...

Scientists have developed the world's strongest iron-based superconducting magnet using AI, in what could be a breakthrough for affordable MRI machines and the future of electrified transport.
