Even if you don't smoke, a lighter is certainly a handy tool for starting campfires – and if you're carrying one anyway, why ...

A UB-led experiment confirms that ferromagent iron found a way to sync with the superconducting metal vanadium.

At some point during our primary school careers, most of us probably constructed a simple compass, often by floating a ...

The magnetized needle of a conventional compass wants to align with Earth’s magnetic field—helpful, unless you’re near the poles, where the field tugs straight downward, rendering magnetic compasses ...

While superconductors are known to induce weak superconducting behavior in nearby materials, the iron's induced behavior was ...

When Santa is done delivering presents on Christmas Eve, he must get back home to the North Pole, even if it’s snowing so hard that the reindeer can’t see the way. He could use a compass, but then he ...
