Toyota says it has invented a new magnet for high-energy applications like electric motors that uses a fraction of the amount of neodymium (a rare-earth element) of a standard iron, boron, neodymium ...

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

6 September 2011 - A team of Penn State University scientists has invented a new system that uses magnetism to purify hybrid nanoparticles -- structures that are composed of two or more kinds of ...

Join the Mythbusters for fun with supermagnets. It casts enough magnetic force to slow a locomotive from a quarter-million miles away--the distance of the Earth from the moon. The "magnetar," or ...

A lab in China has produced the most powerful steady magnetic field in the world. The Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) in Hefei, China, recorded a field strength of 45.22 Tesla (T) on ...

A new magnetic material called a p-wave magnet uses helical electron spin patterns that deflect electric current, enabling smaller and more efficient computer chips. (Nanowerk News) Magnetism, as we ...

So I've always thought that having magnets near hard-drives was bad for the hard-drives, yet these days all I see are magnet-tipped screw drivers. Even those "iFixit" branded ones, which are obviously ...

MEMS RF switches have distinct advantages over solid-state switches. They provide much lower insertion loss, higher isolation, better linearity, use lower power and are potentially cheaper. They also ...
