Magnets are going soft! Scientists at the University of Michigan and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany have developed a soft, metal-free, non-toxic magnetic gel. This carbon-based material has the potential to safely power and guide soft robots; to deliver drugs, medicine, and implants in the human body; and more. Check out […] The post Metal-Free Magnets? appeared first on Adams Magnetic Products, LLC ..read more

Magnetic components enable all kinds of innovation! Last month, bioengineers at UCLA developed a device that shows promising potential to give those without a voice the ability to speak. The implement attaches externally to the necks of people who are unable to speak due to various voice disorders, pathological conditions, or surgeries. With the help […] The post Magnets Raising Voices appeared first on Adams Magnetic Products, LLC ..read more

Before we explain how magnets demagnetize – lose their magnetism, it may be helpful to note: Permanent magnets are made of elements known as ferromagnetic materials by exposing them to a magnetic field using electric current. Using a magnetizing fixture that directs current through the non-magnetized part, electron spins in these metals are lined up, or polarized, […] The post How do magnets demagnetize? appeared first on Adams Magnetic Products, LLC ..read more

Throughout history, women have made significant contributions in fields ranging from economics and civil engineering to yes, you guessed it, science. For example, Ada Lovelace wrote what is considered the world’s first computer code. Chemist Katharin Blodgett is credited with creating the world’s first clear glass. And on a hot, sunny day, you can thank […] The post Women in STEM Magnetism appeared first on Adams Magnetic Products, LLC ..read more

Cold weather is great for sipping cocoa by the fire, watching college football, and making snow angels. But how do cold temps affect magnets? Luckily, most magnets actually become stronger and more resistant to demagnetization in cold weather. Strength: In most cases, cold temperatures increase the strength of a magnet’s magnetic field. This is because the atoms in the magnet move slower […] The post What Happens When Magnets Get Cold? appeared first on Adams Magnetic Products, LLC ..read more

Permanent magnets play a critical role in electric vehicles (EVs). They are used in the electric motors that power the wheels, as well as in other components such as the power steering and air conditioning system. Permanent magnets create a strong magnetic field that does not require electricity to maintain. This makes them ideal for […] The post Permanent Magnets in EVs appeared first on Adams Magnetic Products, LLC ..read more

Background You may have heard there’s a new, lower-cost Neodymium Iron Boron magnet option. This new option replaces some of the Neodymium with Cerium, which helps to reduce the cost of the magnet. A Bit of Neodymium History… Er, Science… Nope, History The popular Neodymium magnets are made up of a variety of materials, mostly […] The post New Lower Cost Neodymium Magnet Option appeared first on Adams Magnetic Products Co ..read more
