The Dynamic Duo "flashlight" is actually two flashlights – a wide-beam that illuminates a broad area, and a more focused narrow-beam. They can be used individually as needed, or magnetically joined together to form one dual-beam unit.

Maglev transport systems present an attractive option for the mobility mix. They're quick and quiet, and are low maintenance. But setup can be costly and complex. IronLev is looking to change that with a passive system that runs on regular rail tracks.

Carrying your camera could soon get a lot easier. The Swift-Lock system allows users to tote their DSLR in a stabler, more accessible orientation than otherwise, plus they can quickly pop their camera on and off of the thing as needed.

Scientists have confirmed the existence of a strange new form of magnetism. Hiding right under our noses, the team says that “altermagnetism” can be found in everyday materials and could have major technological uses.

While some blood clots can be removed via a tool that's inserted into the affected vein or artery, others are harder to reach. Those other clots could one day be treated using "millirobots" that auger their way through the patient's blood vessels.
-
Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before.

Interchangeable-bit ratcheting screwdrivers are very useful devices, but they're not something you'd typically stuff into a pocket. The folks from Logical Carry are out to change that, with the flat-form Ti-Mag.
-
Researchers have created a magnet-containing 'workout mat' that simulates the mechanical forces exerted on muscle cells during exercise. It may assist in testing treatments for people with muscle injuries and neuromuscular diseases.
-
Everybody’s favorite wonder material, graphene, continues to surprise. MIT physicists have discovered yet another brand new electronic state hiding in this overachieving little material – something they give the bizarre name of “ferro-valleytricity.”
-
Astronomers have discovered a new type of star, which could be key to solving a cosmic mystery. This massive helium star has an ultra-strong magnetic field, meaning it could be the preliminary stage of a magnetar, which so far has unknown origins.
-
Gaming hardware company Corsair has announced a "game-changing" keyboard called the K70 Max that features proprietary magnetic-mechanical switches for the better control and customization of each keystroke.

Inspections of tall metal structures can be difficult for people to perform up-close and in person, and while aerial drones may help, their limited battery life is a problem. That's where the magnetic-footed Magnecko robot is intended to come in.
