By altering the quantum interactions of the electrons in the atoms of a metal's atoms, scientists from the University of Leeds have generated magnetism in metals that aren’t normally magnetic ...

Magnetic metals such as iron and nickel formed line-like, stringy structures. Copper droplets, which are not magnetic, formed more chunky, compact nanoparticles.

Magnetic sensors detect moving ferrous metal.Eddy-current devices also produce pulses with high positional accuracy. Because eddy-current sensors do not depend on a time rate of change to register ...

Molecular trick alters rules of attraction for non-magnetic metals Date: August 5, 2015 Source: University of Leeds Summary: Scientists have demonstrated for the first time how to generate ...

Weird materials called Weyl metals might reveal the secrets of how Earth gets its magnetic field. The substances could generate a dynamo effect, the process by which a swirling, electrically ...

Applying a magnetic field to PdCo2, a non-magnetic metal, made it conduct 70% more electricity, even though basic physics principles would have predicted the opposite.
