If you drop strong magnets onto a plate of copper, something remarkable happens: the magnets slow down before hitting the surface and appear to levitate slightly, like the copper is another magnet, ...

Resistive magnets are built in-house at the magnet lab using so-called Florida Bitter technology pioneered by researchers there. Circular plates of copper sheet metal are stamped with cooling holes; ...

Scientists have broken the record for the strongest continuous magnetic field, according to a new research paper. The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, or MagLab, at Florida State University ...

Little Big Coil: the record-breaking magnet is the size of a toilet roll core. (Courtesy: Stephen Bilenky/National MagLab) The highest continuous magnetic field ever created in the lab has been ...

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) has broken another world’s magnet record. This time, MagLab broke a record for a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil operating inside a ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...

A widely viewed breakdown of recent fusion magnet progress walks through the engineering behind high-field coils, the role of cryogenics and the way these systems interact with plasma control, giving ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision ...

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