Discover how powerful the strongest magnet on Earth really is, what it can do, and where it’s used in advanced scientific and ...

The miniature electromagnet was created by MagLab engineer Seungyong Hahn. It generated a world-record 45.5 tesla magnetic field — more than 20 times the strength of a hospital MRI magnet.

Although the Earth’s magnetic field is reliable enough for navigation and is also essential for blocking harmful solar emissions and for improving radio communications, it’s not a uniform ...

3D print of polymer bonded rare-earth magnets, and 3D magnetic field scanning with an end-user 3D printer. Applied Physics Letters, 2016; 109 (16): 162401 DOI: 10.1063/1.4964856; ...

Theoretical models predict that the magnetic fields in a dusty disc surrounding a young star will slow the disc’s rotation, allowing dust to fall onto the star, thus helping it to grow.

Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...
