Join the Mythbusters for fun with supermagnets. It casts enough magnetic force to slow a locomotive from a quarter-million miles away--the distance of the Earth from the moon. The "magnetar," or ...

China achieves a superconducting magnet of 35.6 teslas, 700,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, setting a world ...

After a decade of silence, one of the most powerful magnets in the universe suddenly burst back to life in late 2018. The reawakening of this “magnetar”, a city-sized star named XTE J1810-197 born ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

An MIT research team has observed a previously unseen form of magnetism, one that sits outside the familiar categories of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. The discovery, termed p-wave magnetism, ...

Yuhu Zhai leads PPPL’s new High-Field Magnet Test Facility, a collaborative research space open to researchers in both academia and private industry. The lab will enable the design and construction of ...

Scientists at the University of New Hampshire have unleashed artificial intelligence to dramatically speed up the hunt for next-generation magnetic materials. By building a massive, searchable ...

Gregory Desvignes received funding from European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant “BlackHoleCam” Grant Agreement Number 610058. Patrick Weltevrede receives funding from Science and Technology ...

Niron Magnetics aims to use cheap, widely available materials to make magnets for EVs and wind turbines. The motor in your vacuum cleaner and the one in your electric vehicle likely have at least one ...
