Science supply stores like Home Science Tools or Carolina Biological Online retailers like Amazon, where they're often sold as craft or hobby magnets Hardware stores, sometimes in their specialty ...

A limiting factor in modern physics experiments is the precision at which scientists can measure important values, such as the magnetic field within a detector. Scientists at the U.S. Department of ...

ITER has completed a major test campaign on one of its 330-tonne superconducting magnets, ...

New research published in Physical Review Letters suggests that superconducting magnets used in dark matter detection experiments could function as highly precise gravitational wave detectors, thereby ...

The world's strongest magnet isn't just science fiction: it's real, ridiculously powerful, and used in some truly fascinating ways.

Rice University researchers have used a magnetically levitated particle to search for ultraheavy dark matter, extending the hunt for some of the heaviest possible forms of the invisible matter thought ...

An isolated magnet’s intrinsic angular momentum induces gyroscopic motion, an observation that could lead to ultrasensitive magnetometers. Spin around. The magnetic moment (orange arrow) of a ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...
