Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny, shiny ...
The quest for the world's strongest magnet faced a surprisingly violent problem: they kept exploding. At least, that was the issue facing a group of scientists at the National High Magnetic Field ...
A new initiative is emerging at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University. Under the direction of principal ...
A magnet will encounter no electromagnetic braking force while inside a superconducting tube, predict physicists in Brazil. This is exactly the opposite of what occurs in a popular classroom ...
On September 22, the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Steady High Magnetic Field Laboratory (CHMFL) sustained the strongest magnetic field using a resistive magnet, at 42.02 tesla. This surpasses the ...
Physicists at Fermilab have produced and tested a powerful magnet of the sort that could appear in the next generation of particle colliders. Today’s largest particle accelerator is the Large Hadron ...
