PPPL’s new National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade will play an important role in the Department of Energy's Fusion ...

Researchers turned a paramagnetic material into a magnet by manipulating electrons' spin via atomic motion. Quantum materials hold the key to a future of lightning-speed, energy-efficient information ...

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, ...

As artificial intelligence, cloud computing and digital services continue to expand, the world is facing a growing need for ...

Dark matter is thought to make up a little over a quarter of the universe, but it has never actually been detected. Researchers repurposed an experiment originally intended to detect gravity, which ...

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 ...

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 ...

In collaboration with the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Oshima College, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) succeeded in developing a new regenerator material composed ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...
