  2. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used. Magnetic levitation ( maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force and any other forces.

  3. Magnetic nanoparticles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_nanoparticles

    Magnetic nanoparticles ( MNPs) are a class of nanoparticle that can be manipulated using magnetic fields. Such particles commonly consist of two components, a magnetic material, often iron, nickel and cobalt, and a chemical component that has functionality. While nanoparticles are smaller than 1 micrometer in diameter (typically 1–100 ...

  4. Magnet Recognition Program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_Recognition_Program

    The Magnet Recognition Program is a recognition program operated by the American Nurses Credentialing Center that allows nurses to recognize nursing excellence in other nurses. It is considered the highest recognition for nursing excellence. [1] The program also offers an avenue to disseminate successful nursing practices and strategies.

  5. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other. Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism . The most familiar effects occur in ferromagnetic ...

  6. Magnetic semiconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_semiconductor

    Magnetic semiconductors are semiconductor materials that exhibit both ferromagnetism (or a similar response) and useful semiconductor properties. If implemented in devices, these materials could provide a new type of control of conduction. Whereas traditional electronics are based on control of charge carriers ( n- or p-type ), practical ...

  7. Magnet motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_motor

    Magnet motor. A magnet motor or magnetic motor is a type of perpetual motion machine, which is intended to generate a rotation by means of permanent magnets in stator and rotor without external energy supply. Such a motor is theoretically as well as practically not realizable. [1] [2] The idea of functioning magnetic motors has been promoted by ...

  8. Superconductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity

    e. Superconductivity is a set of physical properties observed in certain materials where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic fields are expelled from the material. Any material exhibiting these properties is a superconductor. Unlike an ordinary metallic conductor, whose resistance decreases gradually as its temperature is lowered, even ...

  9. Single-molecule magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-molecule_magnet

    A single-molecule magnet ( SMM) is a metal-organic compound that has superparamagnetic behavior below a certain blocking temperature at the molecular scale. In this temperature range, an SMM exhibits magnetic hysteresis of purely molecular origin. [1] [2] In contrast to conventional bulk magnets and molecule-based magnets, collective long-range ...
