# magnetism
Magnetism runs through this collection at every scale, from a single electron's spin to a hovering magnet. Quantum Spin Chain and Spin Precession zoom into the quantum-mechanical origin of magnetic moments, Magnetic Domains shows how those countless tiny moments align into the visible domains that make bulk materials magnetic (or not), and Magnetic Levitation puts the resulting forces to work, balancing an object against gravity with nothing but a field. The accompanying article, Magnetism Explained: From Atoms to Hard Drives, ties the simulations together with the everyday technology — compasses, motors, hard drives — that magnetism makes possible. Filter here if you want the physics of attraction and repulsion in one place.

🔎 Facts
• 4 simulations and 1 article carry the magnetism tag.
• Two sims, Quantum Spin Chain and Spin Precession, model magnetism at the level of individual electron/atomic spins.
• Magnetic Domains bridges the gap from quantum spins to bulk material behaviour.
• Magnetic Levitation is the only one of the four that shows magnetism doing macroscopic mechanical work — holding an object aloft.
