The world's thinnest magnet — which is just one atom thick — has been created by scientists and could lead to huge advances in computing and quantum physics. This design is the brainchild of experts ...

A magnet will encounter no electromagnetic braking force while inside a superconducting tube, predict physicists in Brazil. This is exactly the opposite of what occurs in a popular classroom ...

The world’s once strongest magnet has just broken another record. On December 8, the researchers from the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) at Florida State University announced that ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Dark matter is thought to make up a little over a quarter of the universe, but it has never actually been detected. Researchers repurposed an ...
