A team of researchers at Cornell University has developed the world’s smallest walking robot. Designed to interact with ...

Pushing on that boundary is the subject of this week’s Fail of the Week, wherein we follow the travails of making a working magnetic flowmeter (YouTube, embedded below). Theory suggests that ...

Electronic skins (e-skins) are flexible sensing materials designed to mimic the human skin's ability to pick up tactile ...

MS-PS2-3: Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. MS-PS2-5: Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide ...

Magnetic force can overcome gravity. That’s why this magnet can hover in mid-air. Electrostatic force also attracts and repels objects. Rubbing the balloon on another surface creates a small ...

Magnetic locks are devices that secure door or gate entryways by using magnetic force. Current is supplied to engage the electromagnets in a hold or cut-off position, allowing the door or gate to be ...

Surprisingly such projects are few and far between here at Hackaday, however it’s not the first magnetic field measurement we’ve seen.

Magnetic chucks use the magnetic force from a permanent magnet, electromagnet, or electro-permanent magnetic material to achieve chucking or holding action. In recent years, magnets have increased in ...
