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 ...

Mega-magnet breaks field record A magnet at the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in China has sustained a steady magnetic field of 42.02 tesla, which is more than 800,000 times stronger ...

Magnets are essential tools that help scientists explore the deepest mysteries of physics, materials, and energy. While everyday magnets feel powerful, they are far behind the massive machines built ...

A magnet small enough to fit in the palm of your hand can match the strength of some of the world’s most powerful magnets for the first time. But superconducting magnets that produce strong magnetic ...
