Engineers have successfully tested a groundbreaking new magnet design that could literally shed new light on nanoscience and semiconductor research. Magnet engineers worldwide have been trying to ...

A magnet is an important part of devices like smartphones, automobiles, and many more. Most of these magnets are made using rare-earth materials, which are expensive and scarce on the market. Also, ...

A new permanent magnet design of quasi-axisymmetric stellarator was made by researchers led by Prof. XU Guosheng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of ...

For physicists, loss of magnetisation in permanent magnets can be a real concern. In response, the Japanese company Sumitomo created the strongest available magnet--one offering ten times more ...

A cluster of recent papers from fusion researchers describes faster ways to model the powerful magnets that will sit at the heart of future power plants, tackling a design bottleneck that has long ...
