In physics, things exist in phases, such as solid, liquid and gas states. When something crosses from one phase to another, we talk about a phase transition—like water boiling into steam, turning from ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. One of the most peculiar things about Uranus and Neptune is their magnetic fields. Each of these planets has a hot mess of a ...

(via Reactions) Magnets: How do they work? And can they actually be used to bend a stream of water? Alex attempts to replicate a recent scientific paper that used household magnets to bend a stream of ...

In space, bubble trouble hampers oxygen production needed for astronauts to breathe. But neodymium magnets could coax bubbles off electrodes in microgravity to boost the efficiency of splitting water ...

In a leap toward greener tech, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have discovered a way to control magnetic textures using electric fields no bulky magnets needed. Their star material? A ...

Researchers at the University of Twente have shown how to improve the efficiency of hydrogen production in an experimental setup. They showed that the magnetic order of the molecules plays a critical ...
