Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon ...

Researchers used ultrathin van der Waals materials to create an electron magnet that can be switched at room temperature. This type of magnet could be used to build magnetic processors or memories ...

In joint research with The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and Nagoya University, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) developed a new material "thermoelectric permanent magnet" exhibiting ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny, shiny ...

The joint venture Astemo, a collaboration between Hitachi and Honda, has developed a new motor for battery-electric vehicles ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...

(Nanowerk News)Experimental computer memories and processors built from magnetic materials use far less energy than traditional silicon-based devices. Two-dimensional magnetic materials, composed of ...
