The magnet’s superconducting coils performed well, as did its mechanical structure, based on a thick aluminum cylinder (shell) that supports the superconducting coils against the large forces ...

A dazzling display in the nighttime sky might be seen much farther south than usual, including parts of Iowa, Oregon and ...

Those that store magnetic energy —known as “trapped field magnets” or TFMs — can behave like a magnet. In the Journal of Applied Physics, from AIP Publishing, the researchers describe experiments ...

Magnets aren't miracles, but neither are they a phenomenon that physicists completely understand. Particularly big magnets, like the sun. Until recently, the annals of research failed to ...

The Large Hadron Collider will consist predominantly of superconducting dipole magnets, which are the most complex components of the machine. Their superconducting coil allows them to convey ...

The team also coated the wire in a hydrogel, to make it pass through blood vessels more easily. Hydrogels are formed from biocompatible polymers that can hold a large amount of water and are ...
