A liquid magnet.... The melt of an alloy(Co80-Pd20) which is ferromagnetic in the solid state at room temperature was undercooled below its melting point. The freely suspended droplet(diameter approx. 7 mm)-processed in the coil of an electromagnetic levitation facility-was attracted by a permanent magnet when the temperature approached the Curie temperature(lower picture). The attractive force depends on the temperature in a way characteristic for ferromagnetic materials. This appears to be the first demonstration for the possible existence of long-range magnetic order even in a liquid. 1, record 5, English, - liquid%20magnet

... a miniature actuator... utilizes a Terfenol-D rod; only the end of the rod is visible, attached to a metal dome for actuation. The length of the rod changes as current is applied to the coil surrounding it. The housing acts as part of the magnetic circuit, which also includes a conventional permanent magnet for biasing(not visible). Thus, actuation is provided only by the changing length of the rod, although some mechanical amplification(e. g. : using a lever arm) may be advantageous. 2, record 6, English, - Terfenol%2DD

Superconducting magnets are manufactured by winding turns of superconducting material, in the form of layers of conductor, insulator, and a support material, on a mandrel to form pancake coils that are stacked on one another to form a completed magnet winding. The superconducting material is typically formed into a flat band of material that has limited flexibility and low structural strength. To efficiently wind the flat superconductor and get the end leads located on the outside of the coils for electrical termination, the coils are often wound in pairs from the inside to the outside which requires a winding transition portion at the inside that connects to each coil in the pair. This forms what is called a "double pancake" assembly. 1, record 7, English, - winding%20transition

[Aimants supraconducteurs] Un autre effet, directement lié à la valeur du champ magnétique et au volume embrassé par les bobines, est l'énergie ainsi stockée : elle atteint pour l'ensemble de l'aimant toroïdal la valeur de 100 GJ. Il est bien évident que des précautions sont prises tout au long de la construction pour assurer la stabilité du bobinage, mais de plus, un système très sûr de protection agit pendant le fonctionnement de l'aimant. Il s'agit là d'éviter la ruine du bobinage lors d'un passage inopiné de l'état supraconducteur à l'état résistif. Ce phénomène s'appelle la «transition» du bobinage, et peut être dû à une surchauffe locale. 1, record 7, French, - transition%20du%20bobinage
