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 ...
A group of scientists headed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Trevor David Rhone, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, has discovered novel van der ...
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 ...

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 ...
A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...
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 ...
The future of computing lies in the surprising world of quantum physics, where the rules are much different from the ones ...
Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time ...
