Graphite magnets get ready for applications

  Physicists in Uruguay and Brazil have succeeded in
  synthesising large quantities of magnetic graphite for the
  first time. The material made by Álvaro Mombrú and
  colleagues at the Universidad de la República in Montevideo
  and the Universidad Federal de São Carlos has the advantage
  of remaining magnetic at room temperature (H Pardo et al.
  2004 http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0407303 ). Magnetic
  carbon could be used to make inexpensive, metal-free
  magnets for applications in medicine and biology,
  nanotechnology and telecommunications.

    ... Usually happens the first time they turn a new machine on. ... The magnets have an amazing reach and new users don't really believe the specs. ... I think I've read that they never shut an MRI off if they can help it because it takes a lot of power to charge the magnets and several hours to stabilize the field after startup. ...
