University Physics II explores thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism, requiring both a strong grasp of theory and effective problem-solving habits. Combining clear strategies with accurate lab ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: What we think of as ‘the unknown’ isn’t always some hypothetical wormhole or alternate dimension. A lot of times, the ‘unknown’ is something real, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason.

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...
