The toroidal field magnet is one of the most important components of a fusion reactor. It generates an extremely powerful ...

The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.

In a leap toward greener tech, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have discovered a way to control magnetic textures using electric fields no bulky magnets needed. Their star material? A ...

RIKEN physicists have found a magnetic material that converts heat into electricity with high efficiency, making it promising for use in energy-harvesting devices. The work is published in the journal ...

Magnetic storage devices, like a computer's hard disk drive, utilize magnets to represent binary data. However, as these ...
