From floating trains to powerful MRI coils and particle accelerators, superconductors drive some of the most advanced ...

Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have uncovered a hidden ...

An ultrathin protective coating developed by Professor Mark Hersam makes air-sensitive magnetic material compatible with ...

Automakers are pursuing two broad strategies to protect their EV programs. One is to secure rare-earth supply outside China; ...

As quantum and superconducting devices get smaller, conventional magnetic bulk shields fail to protect adjacent components ...

When you get an MRI scan, the machine exploits a phenomenon called nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Certain kinds of atomic ...

NASA detects first “magnetic switchback” near Earth: an energetic change in your space shield that reveals new solar risks.

Quantum oscillations are typically found in metals, but finding this same “electron wiggle” within the bulk of insulators is ...

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or behavior. Specifically, studies show that under magnetic fields above 100 tesla ...

The weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field, a region over the South Atlantic where the field’s strength is significantly reduced compared to its surrounding area, has grown by an area nearly the size of ...

Geophysicists have modeled how Earth’s magnetic field could form even when its core was fully liquid. By removing the effects of viscosity in their simulation, they revealed a self-sustaining dynamo ...

Objective: The technology employed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems has evolved continuously, resulting in MRI scanners with stronger static magnetic fields (SMF) B0, faster and stronger ...
