White Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

@ Magnetised Metal Spheres
Rare-earth magnets are the most powerful magnets available today. Strongest among the rare-earth magnets are neodymium magnets. As long as the magnetic circuit is in good condition, samarium cobalt magnets can outperform neo magnets at elevated temperatures (of approximately 150° C and above).

@ Abstract, Magnetic Energy
I asked Alexa: "What’s the difference between light and dark soy sauce?"
She replied: "Dark soy sauce is used in Chinese cooking to add colour and flavour to dishes. Light is an electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electro magnetic spectrum."

@ Aurora Borealis Phenomenon
The Earth is a large magnet The Earth’s core is made up of mostly iron, which has given the Earth its own magnetic field, with both a north and south-facing pole. The Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet by deflecting solar winds and charged particles from the sun.

Purple and Gold Aurora
Auroras occur when charged particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence, the auroras appear to move or dance in the sky.

"Wow! I'm going to get me one of these cool fridge magnets!" remarked Lil Rascal.
"Me too!" said Anastasia. "It'll be a nice reminder of our Rare Earth experience, won't it?"

@ Magnetic Levitation Traiin
All magnets produce a magnetic force: this is called a magnetic field. This field travels from a magnet’s north pole to the south pole and is completely invisible to the human eye, however, iron filings can be used to show these fields.

@ Electromagnetic Waves
Ferrite is a ceramic compound composed of iron oxide and other elements (strontium or barium). Among the applications of ferrites are refrigerator magnets and small electric motors.

Turquoise Northern Lights
The aurora can be seen near the poles of both the northern and southern hemisphere. In the north the display is known as the aurora borealis; in the south it is called the aurora australis. What we are seeing in these beautiful displays in the sky are atoms and molecules in our atmosphere colliding with particles from the sun. The aurora's characteristic wavy patterns and curtains of light are caused by the lines of force in the Earth’s magnetic field.

@ Happy Fridge Magnet
Alnico is an alloy made up of aluminium, nickel and cobalt. A strong permanent magnet can be made from Alnico alloys. Consumer electronics and industrial applications use them extensively. The material is found for example in large electric motors, microphones, loudspeakers, electric guitar pickups and microwave ovens.

Northern Lights in Green
What causes the different colours in the aurora? Different gases give off different colours when they are heated. The same process is also taking place in the aurora. The two primary gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen, and these elements give off different colours during an aurora display. The green we see in the aurora is characteristic of oxygen, while hints of purple, blue or pink are caused by nitrogen.

Neodymium magnet (NdFeB) is a type of rare-earth magnet that is composed of a neodymium, iron, and boron alloys. General Motors and Sumitomo Special Metals invented them in 1982. The strongest permanent magnets currently available are neodymium magnets. Among their applications are cordless tools, hard disk drives, and magnetic fasteners.
