Magnets are amazingly strong... but there's a very easy way to destroy them. All you need to know is a little bit about ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and temperature!

You might associate levitation with magic, but science has its own version.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how all material has magnetic properties. Ferromagnetic material can be permanently magnetized, paramagnetic material will align with magnetic fields, and diamagnetic material will align weakly with...

Ferromagnetic materials, such as Fe and Ni, exhibit permanent magnetism even when the magnetic field is removed. These materials are formed by the spontaneous alignment of magnetic moments due to unpaired electrons in the same...

Liquid oxygen has unusual magnetic properties. This demonstration with the MIT Technical Services Group and a crazy blowtorch demonstration on the curie point of iron share a glimpse into how different kinds of magnetism work.
