Microscopic mix strengthens magnet Magnets are usually an either-or proposition. They either generate a strong magnetic field or they hold up well in the presence of external magnetic fields. A method that mixes the two types of magnets at the nanoscale could pave the way for smaller electric motors and generators.   |

World's Most Powerful Magnet The "magnetar," or magnetic neutron star known as Soft Gamma Repeater 1806-20, is the most powerful known magnetic object in the universe. While it's unlikely anything man-made will ever come close to the power of a magnetar, it's not for lack of trying. |

Aligned fields could speed storage Researchers from three institutes in Germany and Russia have found a material whose electric and magnetic domains line up together. The work could bring together the currently separate fields of magnetic and electronic data storage, which would give both methods more flexibility. |
