Scientists know well how conventional materials conduct heat. However, things are not as straightforward under extreme ...

When an electric current passes through a metal wire, a magnetic field forms around that wire (see diagram at right). Likewise, a wire passing through a magnetic field creates an electric current ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications.

Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies that support our modern society, such as data storage ...

All that molten metal conducts electricity, so as it moves it creates an electric current, which in turn generates a magnetic field. As you may recall from Physics 101, a changing magnetic field (like ...

If these metals have not been turned into a permanent magnet they will still be attracted to a magnet if placed within a magnetic field. In this situation they act as a magnet - but only whilst in ...
