Alzheimer’s breakthrough: 'Life-changing' improvements after magnetic pulse treatment
The “NeuroAD” treatment involves projecting a magnetic field into sufferers’ heads while they solve problems and puzzles. “Promising” early results from trials on those suffering the early stages of Alzheimer’s have confirmed that the full onset of the illness can be slowed by up to a year with the groundbreaking method. The treatment stimulates parts […]
70 mph and 5.3 seconds of magnetic levitation: Hyperloop One hits a milestone
Enlarge / The test track looks a lot like the one SpaceX built for a recent competition, although this one is wider and shorter than SpaceX’s. (credit: Hyperloop One) Hyperloop One claims that its prototype ultra-fast train has completed a first full systems test in a vacuum, reaching a speed of 70 mph. The sled […]
Samsung field patent for magnetic controllers for VR
On June 29, we learned that Samsung, the creators of the Oculus-powered Gear VR headset, filed a patent in late December of last year for magnetic VR hand controllers. Based on the description in the patent and the accompanying concept image (embedded below), the controllers would be used to provide more visceral and accurate hand-tracking for the […]
Wibbly-wobbly magnetic fusion stuff: The return of the stellarator
Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics Fusion powers the Sun, where hydrogen ions are forced together by the high pressure and temperature. The nuclei join to create helium and release a lot of energy in the process. Doing the same thing on Earth means creating the same conditions that drive hydrogen nuclei together, which is easier […]
First data from Juno shows strong magnetic field, massive polar storms

Connerney et al., Science) It’s hard to imagine that the Solar System’s biggest planet, which provided Galileo with his first key astronomic observations, has a lot of secrets left 450 years later. Yet, despite countless hours spent peering through telescopes and numerous robotic visitors, there’s a lot […]
Doctors Have Built a Magnetic Robot to Gently Explore Your Colon
GIF As you get older, colonoscopies become an important part of maintaining your health, allowing doctors to spot potentially fatal diseases like colon cancer before they progress too far. So medical researchers are hoping to make the procedure safer, and slightly less invasive, using a tiny capsule that’s remotely steered around using a magnet outside […]
Depression cure? Breakthrough magnetic pulse treatment is alternative to DRUGS
A DEPRESSION treatment where the brain is stimulated by a deep magnetic pulse could be an alternative to taking antidepressants. The depression treatment, called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an MRI-strength magnetic pulse designed to stimulate the brain. Expert Dr Leigh Neal – founder of Smart TMS – said if the depression could be widely treated […]
Magnetic field of dreams: Amateur stargazers help solve mystery of unknown aurora
Amateur stargazers have teamed up with academic experts to solve the mystery of a previously unknown aurora in the night sky above Alberta, Canada. Spotted by the Alberta Aurora Chasers – a social media group of amateur photographers in western Canada – the purple ribbon-like aurora had been a source of bafflement for the group’s […]
The largest objects in the universe may be these deep-space magnetic fields
European Southern Observatory Galaxies don’t drift freely through the empty void of space. Gravity organizes most of them into groups, called galaxy clusters, which can be tens of millions of light-years wide or larger. That makes them the biggest structures in the known universe. However, astronomers now think collisions between galaxy clusters are generating the […]
