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 ...

Though predicted to exist, magnetic monopoles — hypothetical elementary particles with only one magnetic pole — have never been detected by scientists. But physicists have just accomplished the next ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

Developing a quantum magnetism library: Group leader Wei Li. (Courtesy: Wei Li) Quantum spin liquid magnets are materials that cannot arrange their magnetic moments, or spins, in a regular, stable ...

Dr Liam O’Brien from the University of Liverpool’s Department of Physics has been awarded a £2.1 million Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Open Fellowship to develop ...
