Plan a route, grab some snacks, and fuel up. Engineers and scientists have been sending massive magnets from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national labs on cross-country road trips. Subscribe to our ...

How can we advance cutting-edge research but consume less energy? CERN's scientists are working on innovative solutions, and superconductivity is one of the key ingredients. A team has recently ...

Witness the construction of a real shrinking machine using powerful electromagnets and microwave transformers generating ...

Apple is considering ways it could use electromagnets to make changes to the way accessories or devices can magnetically connect to each other, including correcting alignment issues for covers and ...

Imagine trying to catch a fragment of a rocket nozzle in orbit above Earth’s atmosphere. The fragment is travelling faster than a bullet, and tumbling rapidly end over end. Around 27,000 orbiting ...

Electromagnets are strong. They might be able to power railguns and hyperloop trains, but they can also blow stuff up. Like soda cans. An electric current always creates a magnetic field. As the ...
