A 0.5-tonne superconducting magnet recently hovered silently inside a 5-meter-wide vacuum chamber, which marked ...

Under the right conditions, superconducting magnets allow electricity to flow essentially undisturbed, producing intense magnetic fields for a variety of uses, including nuclear fusion experiments.

Physicists have been chasing quantum spin liquids for decades, hunting for materials where magnetic moments refuse to freeze into neat patterns even at the lowest temperatures. A new cobalt-based ...
