Resources & Press

Where to see Polymagnets in the wild — in the press, at trade shows, and in webinars.

In the press

Coded magnets get noticed.

From a White House visit to a Popular Mechanics award, the coverage below is unpaid, independent press — not CMR's own copy.

Capital Factory · Austin, TX

President Obama gets a demonstration of Correlated Magnetics technology

CMR was one of only a select few companies chosen to present to President Obama during his visit to tech incubator Capital Factory in Austin, Texas — a first-hand look at programmable magnets for the sitting head of state.

TechCrunch

Alabama-based CMR demos programmable magnets that change polarity and strength on a whim

The magnets uniquely hold together while still not touching, release from each other with a twist, and even act as a kind of magnetic motor — "spooky," in TechCrunch's own words.

New Hope-based Correlated Magnetics Research's "amazing and slightly spooky" magnets get attention

Local coverage of the programmable magnets' international exposure, following the TechCrunch feature that drew more than 12 million unique visitors and 37 million page views in a single month.

Correlated Magnetics Research brings MaxField Polymagnets to a wall near you

MaxField Polymagnets let objects weighing many pounds cling to a wall with surprising holding strength — a second, later TechCrunch feature on CMR's growing catalog of coded behaviors.

Popular Mechanics

This is awesome: printing your own magnets

Coverage of the Mini MagPrinter, the desktop tool that could become the coolest thing to hit maker spaces since 3D printing — and which won CMR a 2010 Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award.
