The world's strongest magnet isn't just science fiction: it's real, ridiculously powerful, and used in some truly fascinating ...
Tallahassee's City Manager said the MagLab can use as much as 10 percent of the total power the city provides if they are ...
There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when ...
In medicine permanent magnets demonstrate unique advantages in terms of field strength, tunability of field and gradient distributions, and practical implementation. The findings highlight the ...
A team of scientists has developed a powerful new way to detect subtle magnetic signals in common metals like copper, gold, ...
The miniature electromagnet was created by MagLab engineer Seungyong Hahn. It generated a world-record 45.5 tesla magnetic field — more than 20 times the strength of a hospital MRI magnet.
Today, manufacturing strong magnets is no problem from a technical perspective. It is, however, difficult to produce a permanent magnet with a magnetic field of a specific pre-determined shape.
Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform ...
A physicist explains. Magnets are "one of the deepest mysteries in physics," said Greg Boebinger, director of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida.
The traditional method for visualizing magnetic fields, which your science teacher probably demonstrated at some point, is to sprinkle some iron filings onto a piece of paper and hold it over a mag… ...
