Popular Mechanics March 2003 Paul Eisenstein	World's Most Powerful Magnet The "magnetar," or magnetic neutron star known as Soft Gamma Repeater 1806-20, is the most powerful known magnetic object in the universe. While it's unlikely anything man-made will ever come close to the power of a magnetar, it's not for lack of trying.
Technology Research News December 11, 2002 Eric Smalley	Microscopic mix strengthens magnet Magnets are usually an either-or proposition. They either generate a strong magnetic field or they hold up well in the presence of external magnetic fields. A method that mixes the two types of magnets at the nanoscale could pave the way for smaller electric motors and generators.
