AI Designs Radical Magnet Free of Rare-Earth Metals in Just 3 Months

We urgently need to move away from fossil fuels, but electric vehicles and other green technology can put their own pressures on the environment. That pressure could be eased with a new magnet design that was built with AI.

New form of magnetism discovered in common materials

Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major technological uses.

World Record For The Most Powerful Stable Magnetic Field

At the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Steady High Magnetic Field Facility, a magnet years in development achieved a steady magnetic field of 45.22 tesla – tens of thousands of times more powerful than an souvenir fridge magnet.

Physicists build ultra-powerful accelerator magnet

  • 8 Apr 2016

The next generation of cutting-edge accelerator magnets is no longer just an idea. Recent tests revealed that the United States and CERN have successfully co-created a prototype superconducting accelerator magnet that is much more powerful than those currently inside the Large Hadron Collider.

Hybrid magnetic sensor is 200 times more sensitive

Magnetic sensors are in everything from home appliances to car-counters at the drive-through. A new technology promises to make them cheaper and smaller.

25 tesla, world-record 'split magnet' makes its debut

A custom-built, $2.5 million "split magnet" system with the potential to revolutionize scientific research in a variety of fields has made its debut at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University.

World's smallest magnetic field sensor: researchers explore using organic molecules as electronic components

Further development of modern information technology requires computer capacities of increased efficiency at reasonable costs. In the past, integration density of the relevant electronic components was increased constantly. In continuation of this strategy, future components will have to reach the size of individual molecules. Researchers have now come closer to reaching this target.

Quantum data storage: single-molecule magnet uses depleted uranium

Researchers at The University of Nottingham have created a new molecule containing two uranium atoms which, if kept at a very low temperature, will

Levitating magnet may yield new approach to clean energy

A new experiment that reproduces the magnetic fields of the Earth and other planets has yielded its first significant results. The findings confirm that its unique approach has some potential to be developed as a new way of creating a power-producing plant based on nuclear fusion -- the process that generates the sun
