Two German physicists have reimagined how to create powerful and uniform magnetic fields using compact permanent magnets. By ...

This is referred to as having a high magnetic anisotropy, and is one of the characteristics of strong magnets. Rare-earth metals like neodymium have very high magnetic anisotropy, which ...

It takes extremely powerful magnets to hold the fusion fuel in place. That’s where these recently discovered superconducting magnets come into play. Strong superconducting materials are ...
