Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...

In MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, the new magnets achieved a world-record magnetic field strength of 20 tesla for a large-scale magnet. In the predawn hours of Sept. 5, 2021, engineers ...

Yuhu Zhai leads PPPL’s new High-Field Magnet Test Facility, a collaborative research space open to researchers in both academia and private industry. The lab will enable the design and construction of ...

Permanent magnets sit at the heart of the green economy, from wind turbines and electric vehicles to smartphones and industrial robots. For decades, the strongest versions have depended on rare-earth ...

Fusion took a key step forward in its movement from the lab to commercial viability with the successful test of a key technology — a very powerful magnet that uses very little energy. In the test, the ...

The new miniaturized structure requires a few thousand times less power than larger magnets and it could help bring ...

If you grew up around some of the earlier models of televisions and computers, you may have received at least one sternly-worded warning to never place a magnet near them. These warnings still persist ...

A comprehensive study of high-temperature superconducting magnets confirms they meet requirements for an economic, compact fusion power plant. In the predawn hours of Sept. 5, 2021, engineers achieved ...
