Key learning points Properties of magnets What are magnetic fields? Magnetic fields lines are invisible but they fill the space around a magnet where the magnetic forces work on magnetic materials, ...

Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers contain two different switching mechanisms, a bimetal switch and an electromagnet. The bimetal serves as a means of handling overcurrents. The bimetal typically sits ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Imagine being able to build an entire dialysis machine using nothing more than a 3D printer. This could not only reduce costs and eliminate manufacturing waste, but since this machine ...

Printed solenoids offer potential for high performance, tailored design, and on-the-spot fabrication. Why 3D-printed solenoids are needed and viable. How an MIT team devised an innovative approach to ...
