Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting coil to 42 tesla, placing a device small enough to hold in one hand within ...

Discover how to build a simple electromagnetic motor and generator using everyday materials in this hands-on science experiment. Follow the detailed steps to assemble a motor with a plastic bottle cap ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...

The complete magnetic properties of the prototype molecular magnet Mn 12 have been modelled, for the first time, by an international team of researchers. The calculations will be crucial for ...

Scientists in China have developed the world’s strongest resistive magnet, which produced a steady magnetic field of 42 Tesla (T). The system could improve devices that use magnets, as well as enable ...

When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners reach the end of their lifetime, hospitals have to deal with a large piece of electronic waste, stuffed with potentially dangerous parts. Unless a ...

A groundbreaking experiment has possibly rewritten the rules of the universe. It couldn't have happened without this 17-ton electromagnet. In 2013, Popular Mechanics contributor William Herkewitz ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

That's why Fermilab and other physics labs are turning their attention to linear accelerators. Project X would start out working with protons, not electrons, and it would be used primarily for ...
