Oil and water contained in a cylinder with magnetic nickel particles form the shape of a Grecian urn. A combination of oil, ...

But in certain kinds of “soft” magnetic materials, changes in the field diffuse through it more slowly. And when that happens, it may be possible to exploit the effect to generate power using ...

The perhaps surprising key to the team's success was the use of a little-known 3D shape ... a cylinder or sphere to roll down a slope, it's not possible to make them roll using external magnetic ...

From the BMW M8 Competition Convertible to the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider, these roadsters shine regardless of the weather.

Although gravity would cause a cylinder or sphere to roll down ... explaining how the team used the oloid shape to enable magnetic medical robots to roll, unlocking their potential to perform ...

Scientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field using a magnetic tube resting stationary on the planet’s surface.

The hybrid Corvette E-Ray brings 488kW of fire and fury to bear on one of Victoria’s quietest road routes. On our marks, ...

When you think of robots, you likely envision a rigid machine that can accomplish tasks or assist you in your endeavors. However, another robot class continues to raise eyebrows and usher in ...

The cylinder was placed in a pitch black, windowless laboratory to minimize photoelectric interference, and angled in such a way as to make it perpendicular to both Earth's rotation and magnetic field ...

Although previous studies suggested that building such a device was impossible, the team says that their theoretical efforts seemed to indicate that certain materials shaped into ... the team made a ...
