Lab top accretion disc: Cutaway diagram of the experimental setup used by Wang and colleagues. The data shown in the left portion of the gap between cylinders illustrates the simulated shear profile ...

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

A material thought to be a quantum spin liquid actually exhibits a newly identified magnetic state caused by competing ...

Hybrid magnet for "neutron scattering" experiments to be built. The planned magnet will produce a magnetic field between 25 tesla and 30 tesla -- more than half a million times stronger than the Earth ...

Researchers have pioneered a tabletop magnetic pulse generator that allows researchers to collect real-time, high-resolution data in a system that couples high magnetic fields and low temperature with ...
