A magnet small enough to fit in the palm of your hand can match the strength of some of the world’s most powerful magnets for the first time. Strong magnets play many roles across science and ...

In the predawn hours of Sept. 5, 2021, engineers achieved a major milestone in the labs of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC), when a new type of magnet, made from high-temperature ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The powerful magnets used in electric vehicle (EV) motors rely on China for much of their rare-earth raw materials. According ...
