A 13-year-old boy underwent a major surgery to remove part of his intestine after swallowing about 100 super-strong neodymium magnets and showing symptoms of organ necrosis. The magnet, made of ...

There's a magnet in a secure room in central Tokyo. It's an electromagnet, the kind that generates a magnetic field when ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

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 ...

Swallowed magnets led to the hospitalisation of at least 300 children in the UK in a single year, with some requiring life-changing surgery, according to recent research led by the University of ...

If necessity is the mother of invention, science and technology must be due soon to give birth to new materials and methods for making powerful permanent magnets. The magnets are crucial to an ...

The next generation of cutting-edge accelerator magnets is no longer just an idea. Recent tests revealed that the United States and CERN have successfully co-created a prototype superconducting ...

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 ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...
