When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Toyota says it has invented a new magnet for high-energy applications like electric motors that uses a fraction of the amount of neodymium (a rare-earth element) of a standard iron, boron, neodymium ...

6 September 2011 - A team of Penn State University scientists has invented a new system that uses magnetism to purify hybrid nanoparticles -- structures that are composed of two or more kinds of ...

Join the Mythbusters for fun with supermagnets. It casts enough magnetic force to slow a locomotive from a quarter-million miles away--the distance of the Earth from the moon. The "magnetar," or ...

A lab in China has produced the most powerful steady magnetic field in the world. The Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China, recorded a field strength of 45.22 Tesla (T) on ...

Google-Tesla MagNet Challenge is an annual competition. It’s designed to accelerate innovation in magnetic modeling using ...

A new magnetic material called a p-wave magnet uses helical electron spin patterns that deflect electric current, enabling smaller and more efficient computer chips. (Nanowerk News) Magnetism, as we ...

Ziad Melhem outlines the thinking that went into the design and development of the world’s most powerful all-superconducting magnet All together: The 32 T magnet lowered into its cryostat. (Courtesy: ...

MEMS RF switches have distinct advantages over solid-state switches. They provide much lower insertion loss, higher isolation, better linearity, use lower power and are potentially cheaper. They also ...
