If you drop strong magnets onto a plate of copper, something remarkable happens: the magnets slow down before hitting the surface and appear to levitate slightly, like the copper is another magnet, ...

Magnets aren't attracted to copper, but when the two come together they can appear to defy gravity. Download the Magnetic Copper PDF (384 Kb). Adobe Acrobat is required. SAFETY: Neodymium magnets are ...

Resistive magnets are built in-house at the magnet lab using so-called Florida Bitter technology pioneered by researchers there. Circular plates of copper sheet metal are stamped with cooling holes; ...

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided ...

Little Big Coil: the record-breaking magnet is the size of a toilet roll core. (Courtesy: Stephen Bilenky/National MagLab) The highest continuous magnetic field ever created in the lab has been ...

High frequency Helmholtz coils are often used to generate uniform but time varying high frequency magnetic fields for a number of applications such as magnetic field susceptibility, calibration, and ...
