Marie Curie is one of the most famous names in science. Pierre Curie has somewhat been eclipsed by her fame. His name lives on, though, in one particular physical property, in honor of his research ...

The temperature at which the molecules of a material can be altered when subjected to a magnetic field. In optical material, it is approximately 200 degrees Celsius. See magneto-optic disk. THIS ...

UP to the present, no satisfactory explanation has been given for the magnitudes of the magnetic moment per atom of ferromagnetic substances as deduced from the saturation intensities at low ...

Presenting one of the runners-up in the TI LDC1000 inductive sensor design contest. The LDC1000 inductive sensor can be used to make a fixed temperature soldering iron. The temperature will be ...

The Backyard Scientist is usually good for a nice bit of spectacle, whether it's shooting potassium into a tank full of water to turning gasoline-filled tennis balls into bouncing fireballs. For his ...

IN catalytic phenomena the ferromagnetic metals (iron, cobalt, nickel) possess a special interest. On the other hand, it is also known that adsorption phenomena are closely connected with catalysis.

The Apple MagSafe power connector is long gone from their product line, but that doesn’t mean that magnetic connectors aren’t without their charms. It just takes the right application, and finding one ...
