Before they can be used, the minerals must be turned into magnets, and China produces as much as 95% of the world's rare earth magnets, according to energy research company Wood Mackenzie.

These unconventional materials have been named “altermagnets.” Their discovery was recognized as one of Science magazine’s top 10 breakthroughs of 2024. Observation of C-paired SVL with alternating ...

THE HUMBLE magnet may not seem to belong alongside steel, microchips and oil as a chess piece in the great diplomatic game. But on April 4th, as part of its retaliation against America’s tariffs ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a very useful tool in some areas of earth science studies such as geophysics. For example, in petrophysics it is used for lithofacies classification and ...

A magnetic domain is a small region inside a material where many atoms’ magnetic fields are aligned in the same direction. Think of it like tiny groups of people all pointing in the same direction.

We should all feel grateful that we live in a time of magnetic stability, because the field acts as a protective bubble, interacting with harmful particles just beyond the outermost layer of Earth’s ...

To help you understand what risks magnets may pose to your electronics, we'll expand on the origins of the myth, why it made sense at the time, and whether you need to worry about that magnetic ...

The Qi2 standard is slowly coming, and the big appeal has always been that is brings magnets that work the same as Apple’s MagSafe to other products, including Android phones. And yes, magnets ...

What's New For the first time, scientists have imaged an entirely new form of magnetism called altermagnetism. The researchers used cutting-edge x-ray techniques to visualize and fine-tune this ...

Stores like Demchak’s sell neodymium magnets according to their shape and pull force, measured in the thousands of pounds. A “360,” for instance, is a solid magnet housed in a metal cylinder.

The Earth's magnetic North Pole is currently moving toward Russia in a way that British scientists have not seen before. Scientists have been tracking the magnetic North Pole for centuries ...
