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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Google-Tesla MagNet Challenge is an annual competition. It’s designed to accelerate innovation in magnetic modeling using artificial intelligence (AI). This article reviews some of the highlights from ...

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 ...
