Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting coil to 42 tesla, placing a device small enough to hold in one hand within ...

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

To ensure seamless integration, CERN has built, in an above-ground test hall, a full-scale test stand called the Inner Triplet String (IT String), which mirrors the underground configuration ( CERN ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...

This activity is part of the Science Friday Sun Camp collection! The Sun generates an incredible amount of energy, energy that you can see and feel as light and heat. Other forms of energy from the ...
