Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when ...

The magnet minimizes the risk of vehicle production interruption by a shortage of heavy ra re-earth metals. It also lightens a vehicle's weight by reducing the size and increasing the output of motors ...

In the field of nuclear fusion some are going big with their pursuit of clean, inexhaustible energy, like those piecing together the seven-story building to house ITER, the world's largest tokamak ...

Two researchers who independently developed the neodymium magnet — used in everything from hard disk drives to automobiles — have been awarded the 44th Honda Prize. In 1982, two researchers working ...

Engineers are shipping the world’s most powerful magnet to the construction site of the world’s largest experimental fusion reactor called ITER in France. The massive 1,000 ton solenoid, a type of ...

If you want a strong magnet, the obvious answer is to buy one. However, for a variety of reasons, you might want to combine several smaller magnets. There are a few ways to do this, but the Halbach ...

The University will have a new force to be reckoned with when construction of a facility housing the world’s most powerful magnet is completed in June. The Center for Magnetic Resonance Research on ...
