The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

A magnetic domain is a small region inside a material where many atoms’ magnetic fields are aligned in the same direction. Think of it like tiny groups of people all pointing in the same direction.

The result that magnetic-field detection might have evolved separately for the map and compass senses bolsters growing evidence for dual magnetoreception systems in other vertebrates 1, 3.

To help you understand what risks magnets may pose to your electronics, we'll expand on the origins of the myth, why it made sense at the time, and whether you need to worry about that magnetic ...

89 hospitals with 5+ Magnet designations Of the 613 hospitals with a Magnet designation, 14.5% have achieved the Magnet status at least five times, according to data from the American Nurses ...

Some inventions are so simple that it’s hard to improve them. The magnetic compass is a great example — a magnetized needle, a bit of cork, and a bowl of water are all you need to start… ...

For its part, French automotive supplier Valeo has focused on magnet-free electric motor stators and control systems, working with Renault on its next-gen E7A motor design, planned for a 2027 launch.

Scientists are learning more about how common magnetic fields are around planets and moons. One of Earth's defining features is its magnetic field. It forms a protective shield against high-energy ...

For example, in magnetic resonance imaging, the compass needles are protons in your blood. The MRI machine lines the needles up, tips them, and lets them spiral back. When there are oxygen molecules ...

"When you navigate with a compass you can orient yourself thanks to Earth's global magnetic field. But on Mars, if you were to walk around with a compass it would haphazardly point from one ...

The motor in your vacuum cleaner and the one in your electric vehicle likely have at least one thing in common: they both rely on powerful permanent magnets to function. And the materials for ...
