But powerful magnets are usually large and energy hungry. Chukun Gao at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and her colleagues sought to build a small ultra-strong magnet that would ...

Atrial fibrillation is a common heart condition characterized by a rapid, irregular heartbeat stemming from the heart's upper ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Akron’s Summa Health System is among the first hospitals in Ohio performing a minimally invasive bariatric surgery using small magnets instead of surgery to alter the bowel. The ...

Using magnets to treat depression sounds like a mad scientist’s scheme — but it actually works. The treatment — known as TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation — is backed up by years of research ...

In a paper published in Nature Materials, Wilson's lab group has reported on an innovative way to use a phenomenon referred to as frustration of long-range order in a material system to engineer ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...
