- Magnetic 3D printed structures can crawl, roll, and jumpEngineers at MIT created soft 3D printed structures the movements of which can be controlled by a magnet. The researchers created each structures from…
- Ekotex Magnet WhiteboardEkotex Magnet (Magneet) is a wall finish with many possibilities. With Ekotex Magnet, an interior can be quickly and easily transformed into a presentation wall without plates or magnetic paint. This system is very flexible and is available in floor to ceiling spans, but can also be applied to select parts of a wall. Whether the walls are curving, straight or oblique, the Ekotex magnet system can be applied without difficulty on each wall.
- The art of magnetismOne of the biggest challenges to designers is making an object stay up. This is true whether it’s a lampshade or a skyscraper. While…
- Vitrulan »Magnet»Vitrulan »magnet» is a new magnetic wall covering. Due to its unique metallic back coating, you can stick any magnet directly onto a wall. No more need to damage wall surfaces with sticky tape, drawing pins, adhesive putty or sticky pad. The material is fireproof, washable and suitable for locations with extreme hygiene demands.
- Magnetic window shadeIt’s great when innovation is recognized and rewarded. It’s especially great when it’s independent innovation, by a young designer, and the grateful party is…
- Best of 2019: Extracting microplastic from water using magnetsOriginally published on 11 August Irish teenager Fionn Ferreira developed a method to remove microplastic from water using strong magnets. Microplastics are plastic particles…

- Magnetic leather wall and floor tilesBlackstock magnetic leather tiles are especially made for indoor wall and floor covering. The tiles are suited for any sort of room except rooms with a high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
- Magnetic zipperThe starting points of this zipper magnetically attach, automatically align and lock into place. This makes it possible for people with disabilities, children, and others to close the zipper without effort. The zipper can be closed with one hand, and in winter, without taking your gloves off. The zippers are availble for #5 Delrin (molded teeth), with an open end only.
- Self-healing asphalt can repair itself using a magnetic fieldCracks in asphalt are a common sight, but a pain to repair. It is expensive and because the roads need to be closed down…
- Magnetic FloorThis manufacturer has developed a “green” kind of PVC, with ingredients that are not harmful like plasticizers are, but these ingredients are strictly secret. To avoid toxic emissions from glue, these tiles have a magnetic backing, with an underlayment of a metal foil, allowing the floor to be easily removed.
- Magnetic Fabrics by Lilian Dedio at MX2016The goal of this work was to explore new limits of fabrics by experimentally developing their familiar features through unexpected modifications.To create these modifications,…
