Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

While radiation treatments designed to kill cancer cells have come a long way, scientists and doctors are always exploring new ways to zap tumors more effectively. Recent tests at the U.S. Department ...

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

Halbach magnet arrays represent an innovative approach in the design of permanent magnets for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications. By arranging magnets in a specific, asymmetrical ...

If you want a strong magnet, the obvious answer is to buy one. However, for a variety of reasons, you might want to combine several smaller magnets. There are a few ways to do this, but the Halbach ...

Physicists show that magnetoelastic coupling, present in nearly all magnets, can generate skyrmion arrays without crystal ...
