Typically, when we think about forming metal parts, we think about beating them with hammers, or squeezing them with big hydraulic presses. But what if magnets could do the squeezing? …read more Continue reading EMF Forming Was A Neat Aerospace Breakthrough
Scientists in China have developed the world’s strongest resistive magnet, which produced a steady magnetic field of 42 Tesla (T). The system could improve devices that use magnets, as well as enable a range of new experiments that probe electromagneti… Continue reading World’s strongest resistive magnet fired up in China
A few years back NVIDIA created a dedicated cryptocurrency mining GPU, the CMP 170HX. This was a heavily restricted version of its flagship A100 datacenter accelerator, using the same GA100 …read more Continue reading Hacking an NVIDIA CMP 170HX Crypto GPU for EM Sim Work
Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electromagnetic launchers …read more Continue reading Launching Model Airplanes With a Custom Linear Induction Motor
Most electromagnetic actuators are rotating motors, or some variation on the theme, like servos. However, it’s possible to do linear actuation with electomagnetics, too. [Adrian Perez] demonstrates this with Linette, …read more Continue reading Electromagnetic Actuator Mimics Muscle
In a move that echoes a sci-fi series, researchers have developed a super-small material that was able to not only stimulate nerves in rodents, but reconnect them as well. The finding could lead to injectable particles that take the place of larger imp… Continue reading Nanomaterial stimulates and regrows severed nerves like sci-fi tech
Taking a plot point from the 1990 Sean Connery thriller The Hunt for Red October, DARPA is working on a super-silent submarine drive that has no moving parts and provides propulsion through the water using magnets and electricity.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading DARPA launches program in quest for “Red October” silent submarine drive
Electric guitars were the hip new thing back in the mid-century. The electrification of the common and portable guitar opened up a lot of avenues in terms of sound and …read more Continue reading Bass Guitar Gets Shapeshifting Pickups
Researchers at Drexel University have created “Faraday fabrics” that can block almost all electromagnetic waves. The key ingredient is a 2D material called MXene, and the development could help protect wearables from interference and people from potent… Continue reading Experimental “Faraday fabric” blocks almost all electromagnetic waves
For many type 2 diabetics, keeping blood sugar to healthy levels is a painstaking task involving regular monitoring and insulin injections, but scientists are pursuing more convenient ways to manage the condition. Among them is a research group at the … Continue reading “Remote control” for diabetes tackles blood sugar with electromagnetism
