The new miniaturized structure requires a few thousand times less power than larger magnets and it could help bring ...

The Large Hadron Collider will consist predominantly of superconducting dipole magnets, which are the most complex components of the machine. Their superconducting coil allows them to convey extremely ...

Magnets aren't miracles, but neither are they a phenomenon that physicists completely understand. Particularly big magnets, like the sun. Until recently, the annals of research failed to completely ...

A new spacecraft concept called NOVA could keep asteroids from hitting our planet by using a huge magnet to gradually pull ...

University of Houston physicists report finding major theoretical flaws in the generally accepted understanding of how a superconductor traps and holds a magnetic field. More than 50 years ago, C.P.

In a magnetic confinement fusion reactor, a strong magnetic field generated by a superconducting magnet confines ultra-high-temperature plasmas of more than 100 million degrees Celsius. The ...

Scientists fabricated isotropic, near-net-shape, neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) bonded magnets at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL using the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) ...

A magnet small enough to fit in the palm of your hand can match the strength of some of the world’s most powerful magnets for the first time. Strong magnets play many roles across science and ...
