Magnetic Interactions Reveal An Exception To A 300-Year-Old Law Of FrictionSchematic of two magnetic layers composed of permanent magnets. The magnets in the upper layer are free to rotate, while those in the lower layer are fixed. When the layers move relative to each other, the upper magnets periodically reorient, dissipating energy and giving rise to contactless friction

China's Record-Breaking Resistive Magnet Produces Field Over 800,000 Times Stronger Than Earth'sA photo showing the resistive magnet. It looks like a cylindrical body on four tubular legs. It has two sets of brown cables running from its bottom, two on each side, and two thick silver tubes on each side positioned in the middle and at the top of the device. The whole thing is located reaches from floor to ceiling in a room with a blue floor.
