Magnet fishing with a super strong 1200 lb magnet delivers serious pulling power—but how strong is it in real-world conditions? In this video, we test its true strength, reveal massive pulls, and ...

Permanent magnets sit at the heart of the green economy, from wind turbines and electric vehicles to smartphones and industrial robots. For decades, the strongest versions have depended on rare-earth ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals—a breakthrough that could significantly advance clean energy ...

Yuhu Zhai leads PPPL’s new High-Field Magnet Test Facility, a collaborative research space open to researchers in both academia and private industry. The lab will enable the design and construction of ...

A new initiative is emerging at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University. Under the direction of principal ...

In MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, the new magnets achieved a world-record magnetic field strength of 20 tesla for a large-scale magnet. In the predawn hours of Sept. 5, 2021, engineers ...
