The 45.22-tesla magnet sits just shy of the record for the world’s most powerful magnet.

China started using the world’s most powerful magnet for scientific research. The magnet is roughly the size of a coin, but creates an impressive 45.22-tesla magnetic field.

The world’s most powerful magnet ever (45.5 tesla) was developed by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in the U.S.


It’s an evolutionary simplification of the larynx.

A so-called evolutionary simplification of the larynx led to human speech. This trait is still present today. Researchers are unsure at what point in history it evolved.

Scientists have spotted the evolutionary modifications in the voice box that make humans able to speak compared to other primates. They did this through an examination of the voice box, or larynx, in 43 species of primates.

A potentially better way to make oxygen for astronauts in space using magnetism has been proposed by an international team of scientists, including a University of Warwick chemist.

The conclusion is from new research on magnetic phase separation in microgravity published in npj Microgravity by researchers from the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, University of Colorado Boulder and Freie Universität Berlin in Germany.

Keeping astronauts breathing aboard the International Space Station and other is a complicated and costly process. As humans plan future missions to the Moon or Mars better technology will be needed.

Enjoy a short video that accompanies an article published on the “Futura” website of the Spanish television channel “La Cuatro”, in which Liz Parrish tells the audience a little about her story.

The host of the program speaks in Spanish and what Liz says is translated into Spanish, but I have added S/T in English smile
