Have you ever wondered how induction cooking works? A rotating magnetic field — electrically or mechanically — induces eddy currents in aluminum and that generates heat. When [3D Sage] learned this, ...

Permanent magnets aren’t typically switchable. They’re always doing their magnet thing. However, if you align them with a bunch of other magnets in just the right way, you can create a permanent ...

Additive manufacturing can turn everyday magnetic material into alternatives for expansive rare-earth magnets. Engineers at the Amess Laboratory’s Critical Materials Institute used laser 3D metal ...

Magnetic materials play important roles in electrical products. These materials are usually manufactured by means of established production techniques and use of rare earth metals. Several research ...

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through the air. Instead, it uses magnets to fly. A magnetic field produced by an ...

Physicists at the Ural Federal University (UrFU, Ekaterinburg, Russia) will print unique magnets, magnetic systems, soft magnetic elements with a 3D printer. Samples made with this printer can be ...

Almost everybody has a junk drawer — home to random cables, screws, oversized spoons, matchboxes, and foreign currency coins. It's where you put things that just don't belong anywhere else, either ...

From where I sit, 3D technology as it relates to a golf club has always been a “yah, someday” concept. I remember the first time I actually saw something get 3D printed — it was probably seven or ...

From wind turbines and electric motors to sensors and magnetic switching systems: permanent magnets are used in many different electrical applications. The production of these magnets usually involves ...
