Earth is fortunate in having a magnetic field: it protects the planet and its life from harmful cosmic radiation. Other ...

The first antimatter qubit will help search for differences between matter and antimatter ...

There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when ...

Scientists trap light inside a magnet Date: August 16, 2023 Source: City College of New York Summary: A new study shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their ...

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

Discover how powerful the strongest magnet on Earth really is, what it can do, and where it’s used in advanced scientific and industrial applications.

"Focused" magnet system consisting of two stacked rings, each with 16 FeNdB magnet cuboids (side length 20 mm).The inner diameter is 160 mm,and the magnetic field of 20 mT exhibits a homogeneity ...

Once the WHAM team chilled the magnets down to operating temperature and applied a strong electrical current, the high-temperature superconductors produced a 17 tesla magnetic field.

That's higher than the orbit where you'll find geostationary satellites, but it's still close enough to the planet that the magnetic field is neat and orderly, more like a bar magnet.
