Curie temperature

The Curie temperature is a special temperature that certain materials have. When the material gets really hot, something interesting happens: it stops being magnetic!

Imagine you have a magnet that sticks to your fridge. If you heat it up really hot, it will eventually stop sticking to your fridge. This is because the Curie temperature has been reached.

Some materials have a high Curie temperature, meaning they need to get really hot before the magnetism disappears. Other materials have a low Curie temperature, meaning they only need to get a little bit warm before they stop being magnetic.

Scientists like to study the Curie temperature because it helps them understand how certain materials work. Plus, it's just neat to know that some things can be really magnetic until they get hot!
