You might be surprised that microwave ovens, or reactors to be more accurate, can also be found in chemistry labs and industrial complexes throughout the world. They are used in organic synthesis ...

Two researchers who independently developed the neodymium magnet — used in everything from hard disk drives to automobiles — have been awarded the 44th Honda Prize. In 1982, two researchers ...

Antimatter might sound like something out of science fiction, but at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator (AD), scientists produce ...

Every magnet is a metal, but not all metals are magnets. They may have practical uses, like keeping doors shut and moving heavy objects, but they can be really fun as well. Some magnets are ...

Flat-faced electromagnets and parallel-pole magnets are two common types of electromagnets. Flat-faced magnets are used when the entire face of the magnet is in direct contact with a smooth, flat ...

[Photo/Xinhua] HEFEI — Chinese scientists used an independently developed resistive magnet on Sunday to produce a steady magnetic field of 42.02 tesla, equivalent to over 800,000 times the Earth ...

We have seen quite a few DIY joystick designs that use Hall effect sensors ... which is typically provided by a nearby magnet. By mounting sensors and magnets in a way that varies the distance ...

"This ECRIS uses a sextupole magnet and solenoid to confine the electrons and ions in a plasma. The electrons are then heated with high-frequency (28 GHz) microwaves, creating high-energy ...

On the other hand, the strong electromagnetic fields created by certain machines and medical devices — like microwaves ...

A new company called Nuio, founded by two brothers with backgrounds in design and manufacturing, is rethinking desk accessories with the goal of making our computers more comfortable to use.
