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. Magnets are at ...

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 ...

Electromagnets use electric current to generate a magnetic field which can be turned on or off as needed. They are made from a softer iron which quickly dissipates the induced magnetism after the ...

Proper care and routine maintenance checks go a long way toward saving money and avoiding headaches that come with downtime, especially when […] ...

Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Physics! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about how electromagnets are used in everyday life. Students will recall what ...

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 ...

Jake J Abbott developed a new way to manipulate orbiting space debris using spinning magnets. (Courtesy: Dan Hixson/University of Utah College of Engineering) Researchers at the University of Utah in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Perfect lesson resource for KS3 Physics! A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that assists students in learning about electromagnets. Students will describe how to make an electromagnet, use a ...
