Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is one of the modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). As the name implies, it is used to map magnetic characteristics. MFM investigates the local magnetic fields at ...

Soft robots are only as capable as the artificial muscles that drive them, and for years those muscles have forced a trade-off between strength and flexibility. A new magnetic polymer design is ...

From galaxies to the Sun, new research explains how turbulent motion can produce large-scale magnetic fields that remain ...

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.

The joint development team of Professor Shibata (the University of Tokyo), JEOL Ltd. and Monash University succeeded in directly observing an atomic magnetic field, the origin of magnets (magnetic ...

Magnets keep strings suspended without anchor points, and pushing a magnet piece bends notes, so you get expressive sounds with simple moves.

In nanotechnology and molecular biology, researchers are often severely limited by the inability to observe atoms and molecules in three dimensions. Proteins, for instance, fold into complex patterns ...

In a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of astronomers has uncovered extraordinary details ...

The little ornaments holding pictures to your refrigerator and the giant cranes picking up cars in a junkyard are all using magnets. Magnets attract objects made of certain metals. They can also push ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...
