The user magnet, installed in the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility in Beijing's Huairou district, is the world's only superconducting magnet capable of providing ultra-strong magnetic fields ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...

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 ...

Permanent magnets sit at the heart of the green economy, from wind turbines and electric vehicles to smartphones and industrial robots. For decades, the strongest versions have depended on rare-earth ...

From extreme cold to strong magnets and high pressures, the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility (SECUF) provides conditions for researching potential wonder materials. On the outskirts of ...

Many modern devices—from cellphones and computers to electric vehicles and wind turbines—rely on strong magnets made from types of minerals called rare earths. As the systems and infrastructure used ...

If you want a strong magnet, the obvious answer is to buy one. However, for a variety of reasons, you might want to combine several smaller magnets. There are a few ways to do this, but the Halbach ...

If you drop strong magnets onto a plate of copper, something remarkable happens: the magnets slow down before hitting the surface and appear to levitate slightly, like the copper is another magnet, ...
