Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny ...

Magnets are metals that attract other metals. Every magnet is a metal, but not all metals are magnets. They may have practical uses, like keeping doors shut and moving heavy objects, but they can ...

Magnet fishing - where people hunt for metal submerged in canals and rivers - is increasing in popularity, with thousands uploading videos of their finds on YouTube. But there are stark warnings ...

[Tom] doesn’t much like breadboarding. He prefers to wire up prototypes with perfboard and solder point-to-point with enameled magnet wire. That may sound troublesome to some of you, but [Tom ...

You’ve probably heard that you should keep your phone away from magnets, but there’s more to the story. Although you might not want to rub magnets all over your shiny new device, they do have ...

Scientists have used light to visualize magnetic domains, and manipulated these regions using an electric field, in a quantum antiferromagnet. This method allows real-time observation of magnetic ...

Two researchers who independently developed the neodymium magnet — used in everything from hard disk drives to automobiles — have been awarded the 44th Honda Prize. In 1982, two researchers ...

MRA stands for magnetic resonance angiogram or magnetic resonance angiography. It’s a type of magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. Instead of using radiation, like with X-rays and computed ...

Now, we replace the lake with a magnetic material and the stone with an antenna. The propagating waves are called spin waves and can be used to transfer energy and information from one point to ...

Using accessible techniques and a wealth of knowledge, researchers in Moscow have synthesised a new series of promising molecular magnets 1. The results, reported in the Russian Journal of ...

Apple's MagSafe for phones has evolved quite a bit since its debut on the 2020 iPhone 12 line, bringing magnetic wireless charging to even more Apple devices. And since Apple's MagSafe is ...
