Editor's note: The original online version of this story was previously posted. Magnets are remarkable exemplars of fairness—every north pole is invariably accompanied by a counterbalancing south pole ...

Researchers have created and photographed synthetic magnetic monopoles under lab conditions. The development lays the foundation for the underlying structure of the natural magnetic monopole – the ...

Bizarre magnetic behavior that was predicted by a famous physicist more than 80 years ago has finally been demonstrated in the lab, according to a new study. The behavior of an electron in response to ...

The problem with all-encompassing generalizations is that they are often in error; even if they’re correct in some cases, they’re wrong in other cases. In our desperate quest for definitive ...
