In a magnetic confinement fusion reactor, a strong magnetic field generated by a superconducting magnet confines ultra-high-temperature plasmas of more than 100 million degrees Celsius. The ...

Meredith DelPrete, age 10, was playing at school one day and did something that she said is popular among kids her age: pretending to have a pierced tongue. The Fairfax County, Va., fifth-grader took ...

Scientists have succeeded in simulating the magnetization reversal of Nd-Fe-B magnets using large-scale finite element models constructed based on tomographic data obtained by electron microscopy.

The Large Hadron Collider will consist predominantly of superconducting dipole magnets, which are the most complex components of the machine. Their superconducting coil allows them to convey extremely ...

A technique for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could provide fast brain scans at a fraction of the cost of conventional machines. Most MRI scanners require large magnets to generate a strong enough ...
