Scientists have created, manipulated, and imaged an altermagnetic material for the first time. This theorized material has ...

Open to international collaborators, this high magnetic field will hopefully help scientists make innovations in material ...

The first iron-based superconductors were made over 10 years ago, but the magnetic fields they produced were nowhere near strong or stable enough for widespread use. "While superconducting magnets ...

To have been alive over the last five decades is to have seen superconductors progress from ... Floating on a magnetic field is cool as anything, but what are the benefits of such a material?

More than two years since MIT claimed its scientists achieved a breakthrough in fusion energy, the university is claiming that new research "confirms" that the magnet-based design used in those ...

Superconductors exhibit unique features other than their ability to perfectly conduct current. For example, many expel magnetic fields during the transition to the superconducting state. This is due ...

MRI machines rely heavily on superconductivity to generate high-strength magnetic fields and produce detailed images of the body. Physicists also use superconductors to conduct research.

In both of these classes of superconductor, the undoped material is magnetic. On doping, the ordered magnetic state is destroyed and superconductivity sets in. Unlike in the copper oxide materials ...

The superconductor is a ceramic containing heavy metals, which are poisonous. Wash your hands after use. The superconductor is a brittle ceramic. Handle with care. The magnet is strong. Handle with ...

It isn’t like we have a bunch of unfinished projects that we need superconductors to complete. Other than making it easier to float magnets, what are we going to do with a room-temperature ...
