The largest superconducting magnet ever built has successfully been powered up to its operating conditions at the first attempt. Called the "Barrel Toroid" because of its shape, this magnet is a vital ...

ATLAS is a particle physics experiment which has been designed to analyze data gathered from CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) scheduled to start its activity in November 2007. One of the components ...

Scientists have clarified that toroidal magnets can also look for axions, one of the particle candidates for the mysterious dark matter. IBS scientists clarify that toroidal magnets can also look for ...

Imagine two toroidal permanent magnets arranged such that one is floating above the other for year after year. Where is the energy that powers this effect coming from? A couple of months ago, I penned ...

Scientists at IBS CAPP are prototyping haloscopes -- machines that hunt for dark matter. Haloscope have very strong magnets. Helix-shaped magnets (solenoid magnets, on the left) are commonly used in ...

As lab experiments go, it don’t get much bigger than this. The world’s largest superconducting magnet was switched on for the first time and tested last week at CERN, the particle accelerator facility ...
