IN a letter in NATURE of June 22 (p. 945), reference was made to the Ehrenfest hypothesis which ascribes the high diamagnetic susceptibility of bismuth to the existence of closed electron orbits ...

The diamagnetism of the samples decreases as the fineness of the powdering is increased, and at a certain stage the sample becomes para magnetic. The paramagnetic value increases on further powdering.

However, there's also another pair of magnetic categories: paramagnetism and diamagnetism. "In paramagnets, when you apply a ...

The journey of Michael Faraday from a poor, self-taught bookbinder to the 'father of electromagnetism' has inspired ...

Scientists have discovered how to trap electrons inside three-dimensional crystals with special woven-like structures.

Types of magnetism include ferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism, antiferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism. Because magnetism varies by location and with differences in the Earth's magnetic field ...

Copper is one such material. It is repelled (pushed away) by powerful magnets, due to its diamagnetism. Water is also diamagnetic so things with lots of water in them can be pushed around using ...
