Scientists at the Brookhaven National Laboratory created a magnetic field in nuclear matter, 1000x stronger than a fridge magnet. The field’s strength and its impact on particles may help understand the behavior of quark-gluon plasma, offering new insights into fundamental particle properties and the conductive nature of this matter. Continue reading Scientists Create the Strongest Magnetic Force
