For about 700 years, magnetism has been known as the force that stands still. Last week a physicist claimed to have proved that magnetism moves. Professor Felix Ehrenhaft, formerly of Vienna, told the ...

Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect. By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of ...

One of the most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the ...

Eventually, the blob of molten material beneath Canada split in two and the stronger one slowly shifted toward the blob beneath Siberia. This spurred the magnetic north pole to slip closer and closer ...
