Artificial gravity is everywhere in space-related media. Just take a look at "Star Trek" or "Star Wars," and you'll see: they are in ships in outer space, but they walk around their ships like they're ...

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself dramatically when placed in a magnetic field. Unlike a regular fridge, this effect ...

This case study on a robotics solution for positioning bulk goods uses simple physical methods—magnetism and gravity—to achieve low-cost automation. Why? Because simple and inexpensive parts are ...

The magnetic field orientations of BYF 73, as derived from SOFIA data, are overlain on a composite image of the region taken by the Spitzer Space Telescope and Anglo-Australian Telescope. The circled ...
