Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By overcoming the limitations of the well-known Halbach array, which works ...

Like poles will repel, unlike poles attract. And, if you break a magnet in two, you have two magnets instead of isolated North and South “monopoles.” It was once thought that charged objects ...

Physicists Prof. Dr. Ingo Rehberg from the University of Bayreuth and Dr. Peter Blümler from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have developed and experimentally validated an innovative approach for ...

A magnet small enough to fit in the palm of your hand can match the strength of some of the world’s most powerful magnets for the first time. But superconducting magnets that produce strong magnetic ...

Small in-plane magnetic fields switch skyrmion chirality and improve lattice order in a two-dimensional magnet, pointing to low-energy control of spin textures for future computing devices. (Nanowerk ...

Magnets are defined as substances that can generate a magnetic field. Magnetic fields in modern medicine are widespread due to their physical and chemical properties. As such, there are many uses of ...
