The world's first practical plastic magnet has been created at the University of Durham, according to a report in New Scientist magazine. After three months of mostly fruitless experiments, ...

The world's first organic polymer magnet has just made its debut; soon, you may be able to scrap those metal magnets and pull out a plastic version. A team of scientists from the University of ...

Craig Dorrell wrote in with a pointer to a story that I'm sure you'll be attracted to (boo, hiss). Scientists at the University of Nebraska have successfully managed to create ferromagnetism in non ...

Low-cost, flexible electronics and better computer data storage might result from the world's first light-tunable plastic magnet, just developed at Ohio State University. With colleagues at the ...

It looks like a small piece of transparent film with tiny engravings on it, and is flexible enough to be bent into a tube. Yet, this piece of “smart” plastic demonstrates excellent performance in ...

A team of US researchers from the universities of Ohio State and Utah has developed the first magnetic plastic whose magnetism is tuned by light. The plastic becomes 1.5 times more magnetic when blue ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Researchers at Ohio State University and their colleagues have expanded the possibilities for a new kind of electronics, known as spintronics. Though spintronics technology has yet ...

The Sight Glass Magnet removes tramp-metal contamination from plastic resin and pellets as the material passes through a site glass loader on its way to a molding machine. The magnet features a ...
