There’s a moment in any movie or cartoon featuring a mad scientist when they flip a switch or mix two chemicals and boom, their lab explodes and smoke billows out the windows and doors. In reality, at ...

“It’s a love story, baby just say ‘yes’ ” to celebrating the MagLab’s “Science Eras” at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory’s 2025 Open House on Saturday. The Open House will showcase the eras ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

So how hot is it in Tallahassee? Even the world's largest magnetic laboratory had to take a breather. The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, known mostly as the "MagLab," was forced to briefly ...

The rules about what makes a good magnet may not be as rigid as scientists thought. Using a mixture containing magnetic nanoparticles, researchers have now created liquid droplets that behave like ...

This is a computer simulation of gas (in yellow) falling into a black hole (too small to be seen). Twin jets are also shown with magnetic field lines. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

We are constantly immersed in magnetic fields. The Earth produces a field that envelops us. Toasters, microwaves, and all of our other appliances produce their own faint ones. All of these fields are ...

For the first time, scientists have created a permanently magnetic liquid. These liquid droplets can morph into various shapes and be externally manipulated to move around, according to a new study.
