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

Magnets are a crucial technology in our modern life. There are magnets in pretty much all electronics, most household ...

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 ...

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting coil to 42 tesla, placing a device small enough to hold in one hand within ...

Winding a thin tape of superconducting material tightly enough can form a powerful magnet the size of a wristwatch. This could enable the creation of more sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance devices ...

Oxford scientists have discovered that the Moon’s ancient magnetic field was mostly weak but experienced rare, powerful ...

Physicists weren’t sure why Moon rocks brought back during the Apollo missions are more strongly magnetized than models predict ...

Step into a world so tiny, it defies imagination -- the nanoscale. Picture a single strand of hair, now shrink it a million times. You've arrived. Here, atoms and molecules are the architects of ...

Ferromagnetism, the kind displayed by metals including iron, cobalt and nickel, has its origin at the atomic level. In general, a magnetic field exists in the presence of an electric current. In a ...

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Good news: the WPC is cracking down on shitty magnets after all. Good news: the WPC is cracking down on shitty ...

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously ...
