The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have been asked to conduct a study on high-magnetic-field science and technology. The primary goal of the Committee on the Current Status ...

Next generation electronic devices face major technical challenges, which will affect both power management performance and efficiency. Increasingly, conversion and power management applications are ...

It is not known when humans first noticed the attraction or repulsion between pieces of magnetic material. The first important device depending on these forces was the magnetic compass, which is ...

Scientists have broken the record for the strongest continuous magnetic field, according to a new research paper. The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, or MagLab, at Florida State University ...

Current sensing technologies and magnetic sensors have evolved remarkably to address the demand for accurate, real‐time monitoring in power distribution networks and industrial applications.

Albert Fert, French physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2007, is one of the discoverers of giant magnetoresistance, a physical effect that revolutionised hard disk technology, ...

The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used ...

Why there’s a need to assess current-flow distribution. How an arrangement was made for the measurement using a controlled magnetic field, laser-induced current flow, and a subtle physics-materials ...
