A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

Nearly 200 years ago, a scientist named Michael Faraday tried experimenting to see whether Earth's magnetic field could help ...

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 ...

Magnet schools emerged on the K-12 scene as early as the 1960s to establish a public education option that met multiple goals: Attracting a diverse student body from across a school district, ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

One of the biggest obstacles to better electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage is the battery. Drivers want longer range, faster charging, and lower costs, but safety remains a major concern.
