Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

In superconductors, electrons zip around with virtually no resistance or energy loss. In insulators, however, they barely move, lacking the energy to overcome high resistance. Strangely, scientists ...

An international team of researchers led by the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (UMR 5031, CNRS -University of Bordeaux) has discovered a novel way to design magnets with outstanding physical ...

In the last few years, a magnetic characterisation technique involving scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) measurements with a magnetic nickelocene molecule has been developed. This technique ...

The magnet is the characteristic substance that draws in the ferromagnetic material like iron or nickel by the force of attraction. Individuals depend on magnets for industrial and commercial use.

The development of permanent magnets continues to be driven by the need for improved magnetic properties coupled with robust mechanical performance. Advances in materials science have revealed that ...

A new study shows that trapping light inside magnetic materials may dramatically enhance their intrinsic properties. Strong optical responses of magnets are important for the development of magnetic ...

How Does Superheating Reduce the Magnetism of Magnets? To understand how temperature might affect a magnet, you need to look at the atomic structure of the elements it is made of. Magnets are made of ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...
