The technology could have promising applications for nuclear fusion research and other commercial uses, the researchers said.

The film demonstrates an experiment using an apparatus to observe the behavior of electrons in a uniform magnetic field. It explains how electrons are accelerated by an electron gun and then deflected ...

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

Magnets are always fun when used in science experiments and demonstrations. They are fairly inexpensive to buy and can be ...

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself dramatically when placed in a magnetic field. Unlike a regular fridge, this effect ...

Researchers have demonstrated that qubits (represented by the spheres and arrows) can "talk" to each other through a magnet (represented by the rectangular solid) rather than through air. This ...

Developed over 70 years ago, the stellarator has long been ignored in favor of options like tokamak reactors. It might be time for its 'quasiaxisymmetry' to shine. By Andrew Paul Published Apr 5, 2024 ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time ...

On Sunday, they announced the successful generation of a steady magnetic field of 351,000 gauss using a fully superconducting ...
