Tiny levitated magnets are able to avoid contact friction, making them useful for detecting extremely weak forces and ...

The world's strongest magnet isn't just science fiction: it's real, ridiculously powerful, and used in some truly fascinating ...

A magnet barely wider than a human hair is one of the fastest spinning objects ever and could be useful for both fundamental ...

A small squeeze changed magnetic domains and electrical signals in two crystals, suggesting a way to control materials for ...

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 ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

The U.S. National Science Foundation will invest an additional $195.5 million over the next five years in NSF’s National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. This investment maintains the National MagLab ...
