When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision ...

China has set a new benchmark in extreme magnet science after researchers built the strongest all-superconducting user magnet ever. On Tuesday, the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that a new ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Reporting on the project’s magnet systems has detailed how the nuclear fusion electromagnets for ITER rely on low-temperature superconductors cooled with liquid helium, and how their complexity has ...
