Magnet aesthetic

We use magnets every day to run computers and stick things to refrigerators, but did you know that one animal has magnetic teeth? And magnetism is relativistic? Read on for some amazing science-y magnet facts.

Magnetism in metals is created by the uneven distribution of electrons in atoms of certain metal elements. Learn what metals are magnetic and why

With the right background and some patience, anyone can master this difficult subject.

Create a 3-dimensional magnetic field using iron filings - fun magnetic force experiments to see magnetic force.

Earth's magnetic field has been weakening at alarming rates in recent decades, leading to widespread concern over the implications when Earth's magnetic pole does flip. Now, researchers may have found the birthplace of magnetic field reversals.

A host of NASA scientists in geomagnetic, geophysics, and heliophysics research groups observe and model the SAA, to monitor and predict future changes – and help prepare for future challenges to satellites and humans in space.

Here is a fun little tip for containing the mess when using iron filings and magnets with kids! We have been studying about magnets in the middle boys’ science book. It’s always fun to use iron filings to see the lines of a magnet’s magnetic field, but with a 4 year old and a toddler […]

Iron filings are sprinkled on a bar magnet, showing the magnetic field lines.

I can’t explain this attraction in terms of anything that’s familiar to you, because I don’t understand it in any terms that you are familiar...
