Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies.

Halbach magnet arrays represent an innovative approach in the design of permanent magnets for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications. By arranging magnets in a specific, asymmetrical ...

When load increases steadily, so does friction, but in the realm of magnetization dynamics, things aren’t so simple.

Researchers have uncovered friction without contact—driven entirely by magnetic interactions. As two magnetic layers slide, ...

If you want a strong magnet, the obvious answer is to buy one. However, for a variety of reasons, you might want to combine several smaller magnets. There are a few ways to do this, but the Halbach ...

Physicists show that magnetoelastic coupling, present in nearly all magnets, can generate skyrmion arrays without crystal ...
