Rare earth elements are a key part of electronic and mechanical devices, but they’re in short supply. Now, scientists have found a way to recreate a promising alternative – a “cosmic magnet” that ...

An opportunity to get a closer look at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory returns this weekend after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The one-day open house features nearly 100 ...

Maxim Marchevsky (left) and Soren Prestemon discussing an experimental setup to test the sensitivity of a temperature monitoring system for a high temperature superconducting magnet. The particle ...

AMES, Iowa – A tiny, solid sample of a drug, complete with active and inactive ingredients, spun at 50,000 revolutions per ...

A team of scientists developed a new machine learning model for discovering critical-element-free permanent magnet materials based on the predicted Curie temperature of new material combinations. A ...

The quest for the world's strongest magnet faced a surprisingly violent problem: they kept exploding. At least, that was the issue facing a group of scientists at the National High Magnetic Field ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have been asked to conduct a study on high-magnetic-field science and technology. The primary goal of the Committee on the Current Status ...

Tallahassee’s National High Magnetic Field Laboratory Director Kathleen Amm — who has been serving as the facility’s new director for about three months so far — is living in a full-circle moment. Her ...

An experimental board containing a superconducting tape-shaped HTS material called Bi-2223 and a controlled heater is used to test the thermal runaway-based concept of magnet protection. Credit: ...
