Researchers have developed a new class of magnets that does not require rare earths and platinum, yet offers high magnetic ...

Earth’s magnetic field nearly collapsed long ago. What saved it explains why life survived and why the planet remains ...

A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Czech and Spanish-led research team has demonstrated the ability to distinguish subtle differences between magnetic ground ...

A team of international researchers led by the University of Ottawa has made a breakthrough in the development of ultra-thin magnets—a discovery that could lead to faster, more energy-efficient ...

The answer to this question is quite complicated. There is a so-called no-hair theorem, which basically states that only three observable parameters can be determined for each black hole: its mass, ...
