These new iron-nitride magnets are stronger, cleaner to make, and made from domestic iron-salt waste and nitrogen.

The quest for the world's strongest magnet faced a surprisingly violent problem: they kept exploding. At least, that was the issue facing a group of scientists at the National High Magnetic Field ...

The strongest magnetic fields on Earth that we can currently produce are courtesy of MagLab in Tallahassee, Florida, at their ...

Chinese researchers in a recent superconducting breakthrough have created the world's strongest magnetic field of 351,000 gauss about 700,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic ...

Engineers are shipping the world’s most powerful magnet to the construction site of the world’s largest experimental fusion reactor called ITER in France. The massive 1,000 ton solenoid, a type of ...

New satellite data show Earth’s magnetic field changing fast, with a growing weak spot over the South Atlantic.

Two researchers who independently developed the neodymium magnet — used in everything from hard disk drives to automobiles — have been awarded the 44th Honda Prize. In 1982, two researchers working ...

In the field of nuclear fusion some are going big with their pursuit of clean, inexhaustible energy, like those piecing together the seven-story building to house ITER, the world's largest tokamak ...
