Some magnets can be turned on and off. There are two kinds of magnets: temporary and permanent. Find out the difference and why discovering how to turn a magnet on and off changed our world.

This video explains how magnets work and how magnetic fields are generated by the movement of electric charges. Magnetic ...

The development of permanent magnets continues to be driven by the need for improved magnetic properties coupled with robust mechanical performance. Advances in materials science have revealed that ...

Physicists Prof. Dr. Ingo Rehberg from the University of Bayreuth and Dr. Peter Blümler from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have developed and experimentally validated an innovative approach for ...

A research team has developed an innovative manufacturing process for permanent magnets that overcomes the limitations of ...

A researcher in New Jersey says he had a nuclear fusion breakthrough while helping his son with a science project. He realized he could explore which kinds of permanent magnets could be powerful and ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

General Electric Co.’s laboratories in Schenectady last week demonstrated (see cut, p. 23) a tiny magnet, about the size of a pellet of buckshot, holding aloft a five pound flatiron. The magnet weighs ...

As we’ve noted, rare earth materials aren’t particularly rare—they’re relatively abundant, but they’re highly dispersed, meaning that large volumes of material must be collected, from which the rare ...

Eriez, Erie, Pennsylvania, has announced that its permanent suspended magnets are now stocked as a part of its Quick Ship program. This expedited delivery program includes some of the company’s most ...
