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, ...

Hybrid magnet for "neutron scattering" experiments to be built. The planned magnet will produce a magnetic field between 25 tesla and 30 tesla -- more than half a million times stronger than the Earth ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

Earth's magnetic field, a familiar directional indicator over long distances, is routinely probed in applications ranging from geology to archaeology. Now it has provided the basis for a technique ...

Built with both traditional and novel superconducting materials, the magnet reached a field of 27 teslas on June 5 in a test that exceeded designers’ expectations. The magnet is a smaller version of ...

The strongest superconducting user magnet in the world currently has a field strength of 23.5 tesla. When this ambitious project is completed in 2017, the strongest superconducting magnet on the ...

The Standard Model, also known as the Theory of Almost Everything, describes how the fundamental particles of the universe interact. But the model isn’t complete: It fails to account for dark energy ...
