Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

The video explains the concepts of magnetic, electric, and gravitational fields using simple demonstrations. It shows how iron filings reveal the magnetic field around a magnet, how charged objects ...

An MIT research team has observed a previously unseen form of magnetism, one that sits outside the familiar categories of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. The discovery, termed p-wave magnetism, ...

The Princeton Physics Lab has built a Stellarator nuclear fusion reactor prototype using permanent magnets. This is a scientific first that enables mostly off the shelf magnet for simple and low cost ...

For the first time, scientists have built a fusion experiment using permanent magnets, a technique that could show a simple way to build future devices for less cost and allow researchers to test new ...
