Magnetic domain walls, the narrow boundaries that separate tiny regions of opposing magnetization inside a material, were ...

Researchers have taken a major step toward printed, aligned anisotropic magnets via additive manufacturing processes. The U.S. Department of Energy's Critical Materials Institute has taken a major ...

Scientists have shown for the first time the maximum theoretical limit of energy needed to control the magnetization of a single atom. The fundamental work can have great implications for the future ...

A magnet is an important part of devices like smartphones, automobiles, and many more. Most of these magnets are made using rare-earth materials, which are expensive and scarce on the market. Also, ...

A new study in Nature introduces a scalable method for creating magnetorheological fibers and fabrics that actively change shape, stiffness, and motion in response to magnetic fields. This is ...

Although most of us simultaneously accept the premise that magnets are quite literally everywhere and that few people know how they work, a major problem with magnets today is that they tend to rely ...

In a paper published in Scientific Reports, scientists at Oak Ridge National Labs present 3D printed permanent isotropic magnets that use rare earth metals recycled from computer hard drives. The ...

Japanese scientists are proposing a new material for use in the permanent magnets of electric vehicle motors. The incumbent technology – neodymium-iron-boron, sometimes with dysprosium – works well, ...
