Recent advances courtesy of fusion research have resulted in magnets capable of generating fields up to 20 Telsa, which should provide a considerable performance boost.

They're not just pushing paper - they're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with oscillating magnetic fields and ...

In an ion propulsion system, electrons are fired into a magnetic field containing the noble gas xenon. When a xenon atom is hit, it loses one of its negatively charged electrons and turns into a ...

Microfluidics experiments and simulations show that magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the geomagnetic field strength for optimal navigation in sediment environments.

During a brief but dramatic chapter in Earth's history about 41,000 years ago, the planet’s magnetic field nearly collapsed. What followed was a cascade of environmental and biological changes ...
