We told you about these “printable” magnets a while back. When you have the ability to squeeze many smaller magnets into a tiny spot and adjust their north/south orientations at will, you can not only ...
A magentic cup-like shape, created in the 3D-printer. Vienna University of Technology 3D printing can solve a predicament when it comes to building strong magnets: how to build permanent magnets with ...
Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...
A new method that uses 3D printing to fabricate permanent magnets with specific, pre-determined magnetic-field shapes has been created by researchers at the Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) in ...
The rules about what makes a good magnet may not be as rigid as scientists thought. Using a mixture containing magnetic nanoparticles, researchers have now created liquid droplets that behave like ...
According to a new report on the world linear and torque motor market from IMS Research, Austin, the continuity of supply of rare-earth magnets is the biggest threat to the industry. It is widely ...
A CLASSIC experiment beloved of scientifically inclined children is to cover a magnet with a piece of paper and sprinkle iron filings onto the paper. This reveals the field lines that connect the ...
