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 ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners reach the end of their lifetime, hospitals have to deal with a large piece of electronic waste, stuffed with potentially dangerous parts. Unless a ...

Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could reliably tackle various ...

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

The University of Liverpool has secured a major £2.1 million award from the EPSRC to support cutting-edge research into ...

Magnon frequency combs may make it possible to link and interact with a wide range of physical systems, opening new pathways ...
