Cutting a bar magnet in half won't get rid of its poles. It'll just produce two magnets, each with a north pole that will be attracted to the other magnet's south pole, and vice versa. It's this ...

The hybrid magnet at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory generates the world’s strongest continuous magnetic field at ...

If you've ever snapped your phone into a magnetic holder, you might have felt a sudden twinge of fear that it could cause ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently accomplished a fusion power-related demonstration that could radically transform energy production in the future. The superconducting ...

Magnets are defined as substances that can generate a magnetic field. Magnetic fields in modern medicine are widespread due to their physical and chemical properties. As such, there are many uses of ...

The average Hackaday reader likely knows, at least in the academic sense, what a magnetic field looks like. But as the gelatinous orbs in our skull can perceive only a tiny fraction of the EM spectrum ...

In 2015, a group of physicists at MIT did some calculations to rethink how we're approaching the problem of fusion power. High-temperature, nonmetallic superconductors were finally commercially ...

Scientists have observed atomic magnetic fields, the origin of magnetic forces, for the first time using an innovative Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM they developed. The joint development ...
