Magnets are essential tools that help scientists explore the deepest mysteries of physics, materials, and energy. While everyday magnets feel powerful, they are far behind the massive machines built ...

The third type of magnetism could prove the most useful of all—if researchers can identify the materials that exhibit it.

Researchers at Ames National Laboratory are advancing the discovery of materials for rare-earth-free permanent magnets by ...

Skyrmions, in which electron spins inside a magnet are arranged like vortices, are a key structure in next-generation spintronics technology. KAIST researchers have shown that skyrmions can form using ...

A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

For nearly a century, there were two known kinds of magnets. Ferromagnets are the classic magnets that attract metal and keep ...
