Mini tripods certainly are handy photographic gadgets, but they could always be made even handier. A case in point is the new Hookpod Pro, which features a magnetic leg that allows for a variety of mounting options.Continue ReadingCategory: Photography… Continue reading Hookpod Pro mini tripod packs a useful magnetic leg
Various groups are currently working on tiny “robots” that could deliver medication to specific locations within the body. One of the latest such microbots, known as the MANiAC, is designed specifically for use in the delicate and challenging central n… Continue reading MANiAC microbots may one deliver drugs within the nervous system
In a breakthrough that could open up exciting new possibilities in computing and electronics, scientists in the US have developed a two-dimensional magnetic material that is the thinnest in the world. The magnet is just a single atom thick and, unlike … Continue reading World’s thinnest magnet is just a single atom thick
Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and repurposed, but when it happens, like …read more

Graphene has a lot of useful properties, but magnetism isn’t one of them – at least, not usually. In a new study led by the University at Buffalo, researchers have managed to induce an “artificial magnetic texture” in the material, which could have maj… Continue reading Artificial magnetic texture induced in graphene could boost spintronics
A big part of recreational fishing involves switching from one lure to another, if the fish aren’t biting. The Switchblade Fishing Lure is designed to simplify that process, with one central lure body that accepts interchangeable plates.Continue Readin… Continue reading Modular magnetic fishing lure features swappable colored plates

Back in 2019 we reviewed the magped Enduro mountain bike pedals, which keep the rider’s feet in place using magnets. Well, the Austria-based magped company has now announced a new-and-improved model, called the Sport2.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles… Continue reading magped announces a lighter but stronger magnetic mountain bike pedal
While the days of audio cassette tapes are long over for almost everyone, magnetic tape still enjoys extensive use in some other realms such as large-scale data backup. Those that are still using it to store their tunes are a special subset of audio enthusiasts. [Frank] still has a working …read more

One of the most remarkable “sixth” senses in the animal kingdom is magnetoreception – the ability to detect magnetic fields – but exactly how it works remains a mystery. Now, researchers in Japan may have found a crucial piece of the puzzle, making the… Continue reading Scientists observe live cells responding to magnetic fields for first time
