In the free resource for teachers, Mwaksy and Greg observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials ...

The dream of levitating an object with ultra-low power consumption has been a long-standing one. The rapid advancement of rare-earth magnetic materials in recent years has made the ...

A Florida State University computational scientist is paving the way for future medical breakthroughs by developing ...

What is Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)? Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that allows the imaging and characterization of magnetic properties of materials at ...

How do magnets create a force? Magnetism is a natural force, one that works at a distance. Magnets get their force from magnetic fields created by the atoms within the metal. Magnets are useful for ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

Scientists have observed atomic magnetic fields, the origin of magnetic forces, for the first time using an innovative Magnetic-field-free Atomic-Resolution STEM they developed. The joint development ...

Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR’s) have revolutionized the treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) because painless lengthenings can be done in the outpatient clinic without anesthesia.

In a recent study published in the journal Science Robotics, a team of researchers created a magnetic microrobot probe that can quantify the stiffness and traction force of tumor cell colonies and ...

Researchers at the Quantum Machines Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) are studying levitating materials—substances that can remain suspended in a stable position without ...
