Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

If you need help visualizing magnetic fields, these slow-motion video captures should educate or captivate you. Flux lines are difficult to describe in words, because magnet shape and strength ...

Japanese researchers have developed the world’s first superconducting flux qubit that functions in a zero magnetic field.

The forces behind it are constantly changing, which means the field itself is also in continual flux. As a result, the ...

Learn why Lamborghini’s axial flux motor technology is redefining hybrid supercars with superior torque, power density, and ...

A magnetic field is invisible, but it can be detected using a magnetic compass. A compass contains a small bar magnet on a pivot so that it can rotate. The compass needle points in the direction ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometres in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance magnetic fields. The size of the effect can be controlled by varying the ...

Compared to far more common radial flux motors, axial flux motors essentially flip the magnetic field on its side, operating via magnetic flux that runs in parallel to the motor axis. This ...
