At the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Florida, scientists operate the world’s strongest continuous magnet, capable of generating an enormous 45-tesla magnetic field. That is nearly a ...

Researchers from the Department of Physics and the University Institute of Materials at the University of Alicante (UA) and the Low Temperature and High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Autonomous ...

China has set a new benchmark in extreme magnet science after researchers built the strongest all-superconducting user magnet ever. On Tuesday, the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that a new ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there.

Rechargeable batteries are everywhere—from portable electronic devices and electric vehicles to renewable energy storage.

The achievement marks a major milestone in extreme-conditions research and places China among the world’s leaders in high-temperature superconductor technology. The magnet is designed for shared ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...
