Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Scientists have figured out a way to create and cancel magnetic fields from afar. The method involves running electric current through a special arrangement of wires to create a magnetic field that ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) recently accomplished a fusion power-related demonstration that could radically transform energy production in the future. The superconducting ...

Engineers at the National MagLab in Tallahassee, Florida have successfully tested the world’s strongest resistive magnet. Two and a half years of design and development allowed the laboratory to ...

How the universe got its large magnetic fields has remained one of the stickiest outstanding problems in astrophysics. Now, researchers have proposed a novel solution: a giant "dust battery" operating ...

China might be taking some big strides into the world of science across various fields, and its latest invention is certainly no less. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Institute ...

An all-superconducting magnet developed by Chinese scientists has recently achieved a world-record steady magnetic field strength of 35.1 tesla, a breakthrough which provides key technological support ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

The magnetic fields that formed in the very early stages of the universe may have been billions of times weaker than a small fridge magnet, with strengths comparable to magnetism generated by neurons ...
