Thin layers of two non-magnetic metals – copper and manganese – become magnets when they are in contact with buckminsterfullerene molecules. This discovery has been made by physicists in the UK, US ...

Physicists and chemist have made atoms of gold, silver and copper, known as non-magnetic metals, magnetic. The magnetism appears at the nanometric scale when the material is surrounded with previously ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Slag left over from Iron Age copper smelting shows the Earth's magnetic field was stronger and more variable than scientists ever imagined. "This is a very challenging result," said ...

Copper bracelets and magnetic wrist straps are ineffective in relieving arthritis pain, according to a new study. Researchers conducted the first randomized placebo-controlled trial on the use of both ...

Magnets make much of our gadget-obsessed world go round. But there’s only a limited number of metals that are naturally magnetic, and some of them are quite rare. But now researchers have successfully ...

FROM time to time many investigations have been carried out on the effect of cold-working on the magnetic properties of various metals 1, but there are still no very reliable conclusions to be drawn ...

It's long been a treasured myth that wearing a copper bracelet or magnetic wrist strap can relieve arthritis pain, and many late-night infomercial artists have made big bucks selling the trinkets to a ...
