When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

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 ...

Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of ...

THE HUMBLE magnet may not seem to belong alongside steel, microchips and oil as a chess piece in the great diplomatic game. But on April 4th, as part of its retaliation against America’s tariffs, ...

In a landmark achievement for fusion energy, ITER has completed all components for the world's largest, most powerful pulsed superconducting electromagnet system. ITER is an international ...

Plan a route, grab some snacks, and fuel up. Engineers and scientists have been sending massive magnets from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national labs on cross-country road trips. Magnets are at ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have finally settled a decades-long mystery about the Moon’s magnetic field — and it turns out both sides were right. By reanalyzing Apollo mission rocks, they ...
