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

Magnets tuned with lasers at room temperature could lead to faster hard drives and a new generation of computer chips.

A research team led by Kuang Guangli and Jiang Donghui at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Hefei Institutes of ...

High Field Magnet Laboratory and Free-Electron Lasers for Infrared eXperiment (HFML-FELIX) has the following research output in the current window (1 September 2024 - 31 August 2025) of the Nature ...

The strongest superconducting user magnet in the world currently has a field strength of 23.5 tesla. When this ambitious project is completed in 2017, the strongest superconducting magnet on the ...

Scientists have announced that they achieved the highest magnetic field strength ever recorded for an accelerator steering magnet, setting a world record of 14.1 teslas, with the magnet cooled to 4.5 ...

The rules about what makes a good magnet may not be as rigid as scientists thought. Using a mixture containing magnetic nanoparticles, researchers have now created liquid droplets that behave like ...

Recent research shows that magnetic fields can spontaneously emerge in a plasma if the plasma has a temperature anisotropy. This mechanism is known as the Weibel instability. This new research is the ...

Scientists at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida have created what they believe to be the world's strongest continuous magnetic field ever produced in a laboratory.
