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 […]

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,

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

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

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

When you come right down to it, permanent magnets have two major features: They produce magnetic fields They resist demagnetization As with any technology that’s been around for a while, the industry has specific terms to describe these features: Remanence and Coercivity. Remanence tells the user how much output a magnet material grade can produce,
