The film demonstrates an experiment using an apparatus to observe the behavior of electrons in a uniform magnetic field. It explains how electrons are accelerated by an electron gun and then deflected ...

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 ...

Catalysts are indispensable for the large-scale production of many chemicals, as they accelerate chemical reactions. Some of ...

The video explains the concepts of magnetic, electric, and gravitational fields using simple demonstrations. It shows how iron filings reveal the magnetic field around a magnet, how charged objects ...

Plasma is the "fourth state of matter" alongside solids, liquids, and gases. When a neutral gas is superheated, some of its ...

Ohio University’s particle accelerator allows physics students to study and experiment with no limits to their learning.

A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

A group of scientists headed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Trevor David Rhone, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, has discovered novel van der ...

Electrons in a magnetic field can display striking behaviors, from the formation of discrete energy levels to the quantum ...

Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...
