Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...
Plan a route, grab some snacks, and fuel up. Engineers and scientists have been sending massive magnets from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national labs on cross-country road trips. Subscribe to our ...
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 ...
It survived a month-long journey over 3200 miles, and now the delicate and complex electromagnet is well on its way to exploring the unknown. Two years ago, scientists on the Muon g-2 experiment ...
