The film demonstrates an experiment using an apparatus to observe the behavior of electrons in a uniform magnetic field. It explains how electrons are accelerated by an electron gun and then deflected ...

Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory repurposed two MRI magnets as part of a ...

In Hefei, China, physicists switched on a new machine that pushed magnetic fields to record strength. As the device powered ...

Madison, scientists at startup Realta Fusion published two papers outlining the viability of the magnetic mirror design for nuclear fusion devices, making it competitive with more highly-researched ...

The technology could have promising applications for nuclear fusion research and other commercial uses, the researchers said.

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself dramatically when placed in a magnetic field. Unlike a regular fridge, this effect ...

Researchers have demonstrated that qubits (represented by the spheres and arrows) can "talk" to each other through a magnet (represented by the rectangular solid) rather than through air. This ...

The future of computing lies in the surprising world of quantum physics, where the rules are much different from the ones ...

Student George Rosales watches as magnets are used to pick up a superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen during a quantum physics summer camp at Martin High School in Arlington on Monday, June 26, ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time ...
