Pins clinging to a horseshoe magnet

Magnetic attraction. Pins clinging to a horseshoe magnet. Magnetism is a manifestation of electromagnetism, one of the fundamental forces of physics. The magnetic force is generated by moving subatomic particles called electrons. All materials have magnetic properties but metals can produce particularly strong magnetic fields because their electrons flow freely

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the incredible power of magnetic attraction. The image features a collection of pins clinging tightly to a horseshoe magnet, illustrating the fascinating phenomenon of magnetism. As one of the fundamental forces in physics, magnetism is a manifestation of electromagnetism and relies on the movement of subatomic particles known as electrons. The mesmerizing display highlights how all materials possess magnetic properties, but it is metals that can generate particularly strong magnetic fields due to their freely flowing electrons. In this image, we witness the pins being irresistibly drawn towards the horseshoe magnet's powerful pull. The intricate dance between magnets and metallic objects stems from their interaction with microscopic regions called domains within ferromagnetic elements. These domains align themselves when exposed to an external magnetic field, resulting in attractive forces that bring them closer together. Science Photo Library has beautifully captured this moment where science meets artistry. Through this striking visual representation, viewers are reminded of the wonders found within our natural world and how even seemingly ordinary objects like pins can be transformed into extraordinary subjects through scientific exploration.
