Surprising Attraction of Non-Magnetic Materials to Magnets
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 0, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
We explored the effects of static magnetic fields on materials commonly classified as non-ferromagnetic and non-paramagnetic. By floating pieces of paper, wood, Teflon, and Nafion on different liquids and placing those objects near a neodymium magnet, we found that the objects moved consistently towards the magnet. As the distance between object and magnet diminished, the attraction strengthened. The results imply that objects currently classified as non-magnetic may in fact be at least weakly magnetic.

Properties of signature partner superdeformed bands in mercury nuclei
The properties of superdeformed (SD) bands of five pairs signature partners in mercury nuclei have been systematically analyzed in framework of four parameters formula including higher order terms of Bohr-Mottelson colle...
Non-abelian whole gauge symmetry
The wholeness principle is analysed for non-abelian gauge symmetry. This principle states that nature acts through grouping. It says that physical laws should be derived from elds associations. At this work, we consider...
