Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...
China has set a new benchmark in extreme magnet science after researchers built the ...
Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...
In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...
Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same time. Since superconductivity usually relies on electron pairing that can be ...
An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...
When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners reach the end of their lifetime, hospitals have to deal with a large piece of electronic waste, stuffed with potentially dangerous parts. Unless a ...
