Explore a DIY electronics project where a homemade Gauss rifle is built using coils, capacitors, and electromagnetic pulses.

NEW YORK, March 13, 2023 — When we look in a mirror, we are used to seeing our faces looking back at us. The reflected images are produced by electromagnetic light waves bouncing off of the mirrored ...

Everything on the electromagnetic spectrum has some properties of both waves and particles, but it’s difficult to imagine a ...

Physicists have finally turned a long standing thought experiment into a laboratory reality, showing that electromagnetic waves can be reflected in time as cleanly as light bounces off a mirror in ...

Magnets, how do they work? Although the quantum mechanics behind ferromagnetism are by no means easy, a few simple experiments can give you a good grasp of how magnets attract and repel each other, ...

Did you know you can create a magnetic field with a few simple items? For this experiment, you'll need copper wire, one battery, an iron nail and some paper clips or small washes. Follow along with ...

The giant electromagnet that drew big crowds as it lumbered its way to Fermilab in Batavia in 2013 is now up and running. The Muon g-2 experiment that the electromagnet is part of has begun its search ...
