Researchers studying a distant spiral galaxy have found that large-scale, ordered magnetic fields existed far earlier in cosmic history than standard theories predicted, forcing a fresh look at how ...

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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider will consist predominantly of superconducting dipole magnets, which are the most complex components of the machine. Their superconducting coil allows them to convey extremely ...

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

University of Houston physicists report finding major theoretical flaws in the generally accepted understanding of how a superconductor traps and holds a magnetic field. More than 50 years ago, C.P.

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...
