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 ...
Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...
Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...
Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of your hand, making it more practical and affordable ...
The Large Hadron Collider will consist predominantly of superconducting dipole magnets, which are the most complex components of the machine. Their superconducting coil allows them to convey extremely ...
IEEE Spectrum – October 2006 was the first time anyone had steered an object wirelessly through the blood vessel of a living creature. Microrobots would be able to travel deep inside the body, ...
