Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

To ensure seamless integration, CERN has built, in an above-ground test hall, a full-scale test stand called the Inner Triplet String (IT String), which mirrors the underground configuration ( CERN ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...

The complete magnetic properties of the prototype molecular magnet Mn 12 have been modelled, for the first time, by an international team of researchers. The calculations will be crucial for ...

Magnets are essential tools that help scientists explore the deepest mysteries of physics, materials, and energy. While everyday magnets feel powerful, they are far behind the massive machines built ...

When magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners reach the end of their lifetime, hospitals have to deal with a large piece of electronic waste, stuffed with potentially dangerous parts. Unless a ...
