Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting ...

Magnetic cloaking has long sounded like a plot device from science fiction, but it is rapidly becoming a practical tool for managing the invisible forces that surround modern electronics. Instead of ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for things like turbines we use to ...
