Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

Magnets are a lot more than just refrigerator decorations or components in science kits. These fascinating objects, which have been known since ancient times, are central to a wide array of ...

One of the most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the ...

Through theoretical modeling, researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) show how quantum effects can turn single molecules into effective magnets—including one shaped like ...

Magnets can attract some metals, but not all of them. Metals such as iron and steel are magnetic, which means they are pulled towards a magnet. Other metals, like gold, silver and aluminium are not ...

The Committee to Assess the Current Status and Future Direction of High Magnetic Field Science in the United States was convened by the National Research Council in response to a request by the ...

Maxim Marchevsky (left) and Soren Prestemon discussing an experimental setup to test the sensitivity of a temperature monitoring system for a high temperature superconducting magnet. The particle ...

The particle accelerators that enable high-energy physics and serve many fields of science, such as materials, medical, and fusion research, are driven by superconducting magnets that are, to put it ...
