The path to consistent cgs magnetic units has been long and winding, as is the process of universally adopting SI units. Andreas Trabesinger peeks into the history of the field. When, in 1820, the ...

In the field of nuclear fusion some are going big with their pursuit of clean, inexhaustible energy, like those piecing together the seven-story building to house ITER, the world's largest tokamak ...

Scientists have been searching for an endless and incredibly infinite powerful energy source, and magnetic power production is only one option. Dreaming of making endless energy sounds appealing, but ...

Alongside Daniel Cossins's interesting article on fast radio bursts, you describe the comparative magnetic field strengths of various bodies, but sadly use the antiquated non-SI unit, the gauss (11 ...

The demands on switch mode power supply (SMPS) power transformers and inductors are increasing rapidly. High frequency power electronic equipment is being designed for power levels that are moving ...

In a Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) system, energy is stored within a magnet that is capable of releasing megawatts of power within a fraction of a cycle to replace a sudden loss in ...

A number of readers questioned the veracity of the technology presented in this article. To address their concerns, we did a follow-up, which can be found here. Permanent magnets are an integral part ...
