National MagLab magnet recognized with R&D 100 award
Engineers and technicians from the Florida State University-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory were recognized with a 2022 R&D 100 Award for the design and construction of the 32 tesla (T) Superconducting Magnet. The R&D 100 recognizes revolutionary ideas in science and technology, and the 32T magnet is the world’s most powerful all-superconducting magnet.
Main Attraction: Scientists Create World’s Thinnest Magnet
Scientists at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley have created an ultrathin magnet that operates at room temperature. The ultrathin magnet could lead to new applications in computing and electronics – such as spintronic memory devices – and new tools for the study of quantum physics.
National laboratories’ magnet designers look to the future of light sources with new prototype
After more than 15 years of work, scientists at three DOE national laboratories have succeeded in creating and testing an advanced, more powerful superconducting magnet made of niobium and tin for use in the next generation of light sources.
Making it tougher: Samarium cobalt magnet improvements planned in Ames Lab partnership
Ames Laboratory will partner with Electron Energy Corporation to improve a mainstay of magnet technology– the samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnet.
Scientists look to meteorites for inspiration to achieve critical element-free permanent magnet
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Critical Materials Institute has developed a low-cost, high performance permanent magnet by drawing inspiration from an out-of-this-world source: iron-nickel alloys in meteorites. The magnet rivals widely used “Alnico” magnets in magnetic strength and has the potential to fill a strong demand for rare-earth- and cobalt-free magnets in the market.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Department of Nursing Achieves Magnet® Recognition
Memorial Sloan Kettering attained Magnet recognition for the second time, a testament to our continued dedication to high-quality nursing practice.
St. Jude achieves Magnet® designation for nursing services for the second time
For the second time, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has received the prestigious Magnet®️ designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Magnet®️ is the gold standard for nursing and represents the highest international recognition awarded by the ANCC.
Fermilab achieves 14.5-tesla field for accelerator magnet, setting new world record
Fermilab scientists have broken their own world record for an accelerator magnet. In June, their demonstrator steering dipole magnet achieved a 14.5-tesla field, surpassing the field strength of their 14.1-tesla magnet, which set a record in 2019. This magnet test shows that scientists and engineers can meet the demanding requirements for the future particle collider under discussion in the particle physics community.
The power of attraction: magnets in particle accelerators
Accelerator magnets — how do they work? Depending on the number of poles a magnet has, it bends, shapes or shores up the stability of particle beams as they shoot at velocities close to the speed of light. Experts design magnets so they can wield the beam in just the right way to yield the physics they’re after. Here’s your primer on particle accelerator magnets.
Three national laboratories achieve record magnetic field for accelerator focusing magnet
Fermilab, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have achieved a milestone in magnet technology. Earlier this year, their new magnet reached the highest field strength ever recorded for an accelerator focusing magnet. It will also be the first niobium-tin quadrupole magnet to operate in a particle accelerator — in this case, the future High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Rare-earths experts at CMI debut a unique new research capability
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Critical Materials Institute have a new and more accurate tool—a start-to-finish, controlled atmosphere materials processing system.
