The new miniaturized structure requires a few thousand times less power than larger magnets and it could help bring ...

Winding a thin tape of superconducting material tightly enough can form a powerful magnet the size of a wristwatch. This could enable the creation of more sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance devices ...

In the air people breathe, the water on Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the ...

A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

A team of international researchers led by the University of Ottawa has made a breakthrough in the development of ultra-thin magnets—a discovery that could lead to faster, more energy-efficient ...

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting coil to 42 tesla, placing a device small enough to hold in one hand within ...

Learn how a flip in Earth's magnetic field may have caused changes in the radiation on our planet.

One of the commonly used tools is the lab magnetic stirrer. This works in such a manner that it creates a magnetic field that ...

Atomic scale copper rich layers inside rare earth magnets suppress demagnetization, improving strength, stability, and efficiency in motors and generators. (Nanowerk News) Rare-earth magnets are ...
