A trio of national U.S. labs have built and tested a powerful new magnet based on an advanced superconducting material. The eight-ton magnet—about as long as a semi-truck trailer—set a record for ...

Magnetic couplings transmit high torque with no physical contact, and they disengage smoothly when load gets too high. Generally speaking, the couplings use magnetic power in three different ways; ...

For more than a decade we have been reporting on a radical idea from the University of Birmingham that makes recycling rare ...
