If Tesla ultimately brings this concept to market, it could offer practical benefits for people who spend long hours behind ...

Plan a route, grab some snacks, and fuel up. Engineers and scientists have been sending massive magnets from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national labs on cross-country road trips. Magnets are at ...

How can we advance cutting-edge research but consume less energy? CERN's scientists are working on innovative solutions, and superconductivity is one of the key ingredients. A team has recently ...

Graphene, that is extremely thin carbon, is considered a true miracle material. An international research team has now added another facet to its diverse properties with new experiments: Experts fired ...

Imagine trying to catch a fragment of a rocket nozzle in orbit above Earth’s atmosphere. The fragment is travelling faster than a bullet, and tumbling rapidly end over end. Around 27,000 orbiting ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE combined science students studying electromagnets, the motor effect, Fleming’s left hand rule, and electric motors. If you struggled with the quiz, don ...

Electromagnets are strong. They might be able to power railguns and hyperloop trains, but they can also blow stuff up. Like soda cans. An electric current always creates a magnetic field. As the ...

Dr. Stephan Winnerl (right) talks to FELBE physicist Dr. John Michael Klopf about experiments at the HZDR's FELBE free-electron lasers. Graphene, that is extremely thin carbon, is considered a true ...
