Nuclear fusion is a step closer to reality after scientists tested a magnet 12 times as powerful as those used for MRIs, with the hope of working reactors by the 2030s. Unlike current nuclear fission ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

In collaboration with the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Oshima College, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) succeeded in developing a new regenerator material composed ...

Magnets are a crucial technology in our modern life. There are magnets in pretty much all electronics, most household appliances, and in a variety of places, from doors to school bells. The most ...

Researchers have revealed the first ever liquid magnet that can stay magnetic even when changing its shape — an attractive prospect for developing fluid robots. The liquid is made of nano-scale ...

Magnets are a lot more than just refrigerator decorations or components in science kits. These fascinating objects, which have been known since ancient times, are central to a wide array of ...
