Magnets tuned with lasers at room temperature could lead to faster hard drives and a new generation of computer chips.

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 ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...
