For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...

Scientists at the Florida State University-based National High Magnetic Field Laboratory just created what they claim to be the world’s strongest magnetic field using a toilet paper roll-sized magnet ...

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 ...

China achieves a superconducting magnet of 35.6 teslas, 700,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, setting a world record.

A 0.5-tonne superconducting magnet recently hovered silently inside a 5-meter-wide vacuum chamber, which marked ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently accomplished a fusion power-related demonstration that could radically transform energy production in the future. The superconducting ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. David Bressan is a geologist who covers curiosities about Earth. Without its magnetic field, life on Earth would not be possible ...

The top magnetic assembly manufacturers are not necessarily the largest companies by revenue. More often, leadership in this market is defined by the ability to serve technically demanding customers ...

The physical processes behind the two phenomena are different. When heated, a permanent magnet loses its magnetism because its relatively well-aligned magnetic domains, which are tiny magnets, get ...

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 ...
