Those concepts and questions were the focus of three-panel cardboard backdrops with decorations and students standing by Tuesday at the Show Me Center during the 61st annual Southeast Missouri ...

High-field magnets promise a double benefit: they can raise the pressure of the plasma, which boosts the fusion reaction rate, and they can shrink the overall size of the machine, which cuts cost and ...

One of the most pervasive and mysterious phenomena in the universe is magnetism. As the scientist knows it, magnetism is the invisible pull that surrounds magnets, electric currents and even the ...

All ferromagnetic materials have atomic magnetic moments that are aligned parallel to each other within small regions called domains. Within these domains, the spontaneous magnetization present is ...
