This experiment shows how a magnet can pull hidden metal from desert sand, revealing surprising discoveries and practical applications for magnetic searches. #MagnetExperiment #HiddenMetal #DesertDisc ...

Physicists have discovered stacked pancakes of 'liquid' magnetism that may account for the strange electronic behavior of some layered helical magnets. Physicists have discovered "stacked pancakes of ...

Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

The U.S. national laboratories and universities, along with industrial partners, have a long history of leadership and have made critical contributions to the development of accelerator magnets for ...
