But powerful magnets are usually large and energy hungry. Chukun Gao at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and her colleagues sought to build a small ultra-strong magnet that would ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

For years, scientists have been trying to replicate the concept of nuclear fusion — the phenomenon that keeps the Sun and other stars alive — and turn it into a working reactor on Earth that can ...

Schematic of power generation by the thermoelectric permanent magnet, and a photograph of the artificially tilted multilayer consisting of a SmCo 5-type magnet and Bi 0.2 Sb 1.8 Te 3. The ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

We each have our different approaches to monitoring energy consumption in our households. Some are vigilant about ensuring that every single appliance is switched off and unplugged before leaving home ...

Research in the lab of UC Santa Barbara materials professor Stephen Wilson is focused on understanding the fundamental physics behind unusual states of matter and developing materials that can host ...

The Company's 99.9% purity dysprosium oxide produced at its White Mesa Mill in Utah passes initial purity and QA/QC processes of major South Korean permanent magnet manufacturer; terbium and ...
