For decades, scientists have puzzled over why magnetic reconnection seems to occur at nearly the same speed in vastly different regions of space.

Magnetic reconnection is a process that occurs when the magnetic fields of a conductive plasma quickly rearrange and release ...

The late physicist Joseph Polchinski once said the existence of magnetic monopoles is "one of the safest bets that one can make about physics not yet seen." In its quest for these particles, which ...

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 ...

On June 3, a flatbed truck arrived at the front gates of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) carrying a piece of machinery that could influence the course ...

Atomic physicists “are jacks of all trades,” according to Alex Sushkov. “You have to have the idea, design the experiment, build the experiment, run the experiment, fix everything, take data, analyze ...

Explore a magnet test to see how gold reacts and uncover the science behind magnetic searches. #Gold #MagnetFishing #Experiment ...

The achievement marks a major milestone in extreme-conditions research and places China among the world’s leaders in high-temperature superconductor technology. The magnet is designed for shared ...
