Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak ...

We’re always happy to see hackers inspired to try something different by what they see on Hackaday. To [SimpleTronic] has a project that will let you stretch your analog electronics skills in a really ...

What is an electromagnet? What does electromagnetic mean? How do electromagnets work? Electromagnets use an electrical ...

Why did the 40,000-pound superconducting magnet cross the country? The full answer to this twist on the old joke is complicated, but here's the short version: to unlock the secrets of the atom.

I like to analyze the physics of science fiction, and so I'm going to argue that the Merrie Melodies cartoon “Compressed Hare” takes place in the far future when animals rule the world. I mean, Bugs ...

In this video, I demonstrate the process of creating a magnetic chuck, which I’ll use as an electromagnet vise. The video includes detailed operations and materials used throughout the build: - 2:14: ...

The 50-foot-wide electromagnet for the Muon g-2 experiment has completed its five-week journey from New York to Illinois. For the last three nights, a big rig has traveled slowly down the roads of ...

Why did the 50-foot-wide electromagnet cross half the country? To help physicists discover new subatomic particles, of course. Mounted atop a 64-wheel trailer, a massive superconducting circular ...

The lifting electromagnet article I posted years ago (https://www.codrey.com/electronic-circuits/lifting-electromagnet-diy/) has been more popular that it should have ...
