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

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

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

The relationship between friction and load, quantified three centuries ago, has an exception when the interaction causes ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

An international team of researchers has developed a new method for parameterizing machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLIP) to simulate magnetic materials, making the prediction of their ...

What is Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)? Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that allows the imaging and characterization of magnetic properties of materials at ...

In MFM, a magnetic-coated AFM probe interacts with magnetic field gradients from the sample, causing detectable forces on the probe's cantilever. To focus on magnetic interactions, MFM is often ...
