From electric vehicles to trains, magnets are relied upon by several methods of transportation. Last year, we talked about China’s continued development of maglev trains, and their latest test just shattered records. Despite the success, the team behind it has bigger ideas in store.

Magnets are fascinating objects that have captured the human imagination for centuries. From compasses guiding explorers across the seas to the magnetic fields powdering our modern technology, magnets play an integral role in our daily lives. But not all magnets are created equal. There are various types of magnetic materials, each with its unique properties and applications. Continue reading →
In a world of technology and engineering, precision is often the key to success. Whether you’re designing a cutting-edge medical device, a high-precision measuring instrument, or a state-of-the-art robotics system, accuracy and reliability are paramount. One often-overlooked component that plays a crucial role in achieving this precision is magnets — permanent and electromagnetic. Continue reading →
The popularity of electric vehicles is reaching record highs, and the climb is expected to continue through the rest of the decade. As more consumers flock to EVs due to climate concerns, some people are still skeptical about making the switch due to availability and upfront costs. One new partnership may help address these red flags, as Ford is set to begin working with Ionic Rare Earths to create a new rare earth magnet recycling facility. Continue reading →
In the realm of refrigeration and cooling technologies, a quiet revolution is underway and it’s powered by permanent magnets. For over a century, traditional refrigeration systems have relied on vapor compression; however, the environmental concerns of the 21st century have sparked a search for more sustainable alternatives. Magnetic refrigeration, with its promise of reduced energy consumption and minimal environmental impact, is a promising contender. Continue reading →
The worldwide pursuit of green and sustainable technology solutions has never been more critical than it is today. With the looming threat of climate change and environmental degradation, the need for innovative approaches to reduce our carbon footprints has become paramount. Permanent magnets, these small but mighty components, play a significant role in various eco-friendly technologies that will help drive a more sustainable future. Continue reading →
We try our best to warn customers about the negative effects that come with storing your magnets in extremely hot settings. While overly hot temperatures (more than 176 degrees Fahrenheit for Neodymium magnets) can cause your magnets to lose their magnetic properties, some people believe cold temperatures have the opposite effect. One popular rumor is that cool temperatures can make your magnets even stronger. Is it truly a rumor or is this a fun fact about magnets? Continue reading →
You never know what you may uncover while magnet fishing. Whether you are fishing in the pond in your backyard or a popular body of water, you may pull up something with an incredible story behind it. Recently, a pair of magnet fishermen in the United Kingdom retrieved a cannon that may be up to 600 years old. The catch has military experts and excited fellow fishermen looking for more information. Continue reading →
The ability to control quantum materials with light… It sounds incredible because it is! It also has extremely important technological implications. In recent studies, by utilizing the strong coupling of light and matter in optical cavities, researchers were actually able to change some of the defining features of quantum materials. More specifically, a research group from City College of New York showed that trapping light insight magnetic materials may “dramatically enhance [the magnetic materials] intrinsic properties.” Continue reading →
The thought of robots assisting in daily life seemed like a futuristic concept for quite some time. Over the past few years, however, there have been numerous advancements in robotics that could make this concept a reality. Scientists from MIT are finding success by creating robots that can be controlled by a magnetic field. Soon, these robots may be used to transport your packages, help with medical treatments, assist in navigating small spaces, and more. Continue reading →
