Magnesium phosphate

== Description ==
Magnesium phosphate occurs in three forms: monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic. Dibasic and tribasic magnesium phosphate are the most common. They are used as antacids, food additives, polishing agents, and as stabilizers in plastics. Monobasic magnesium phosphate is one type of magnesia cement, magnesium phosphate cement (MAP). It is formed by the reaction between magnesium oxide and a soluble phosphate, such as ammonium phosphate monobasic (NH4H2PO4). MAP sets rapidly with very high early strength. It is known for good adhesion as well as good water and freeze thaw resistance.

Magnet

== Description ==
A a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, and attracts or repels other magnets (Wikipedia 2019). Magnets can include the elements iron, nickel and cobalt and their alloys, some alloys of rare-earth metals, and some naturally occurring minerals such as lodestones. Ferrous magnets of varying strength can be useful in storage and support applications. Rare earth magnets, such as neodymium-iron-born or samarium-cobalt, are super-strong materials whose use is being explored for temporary, yet attachment of art, frames, mounts and supports.
== Applications ==
* Magnetic mounts: Detailed information on the AIC Wiki.
* Magnetic recording materials (disks and tapes)
* Magnetic identification strips
== Risks ==
* Rare earth magnets are extremely strong. Handle with caution as they can fly together and pinch fingers and art (AIC Wiki).
* Rare earth magnets are brittle and subject to corrosion so they are usually plated or coated.

Magnetic tape

== Description ==
A magnetic recording medium used to reproduce sound, data, and images. The idea for using magnetism to record electrical signals was introduced by Danish engineer Valdemar Poulsen in 1900. Magnetic tapes were later developed during World War II. Magnetic tapes are composed of a thin plastic (cellulose acetate or polyester) ribbon substrate coated with a thin layer of magnetic particles, usually ferric oxide (Fe2O3) along with small amounts of chromium dioxide (CrO2). The electrical signal is fixed as a magnetic imprint on the audiotape which can later be read and converted back into an electrical signal. Recordings can be easily erased, permitting the tape to be reused many times without a loss in quality of recording. Prerecorded audiotapes were used in music studios in the 1950s and became popular for homes and autos by the mid 60s. By 1951, magnetic tapes were used as auxilliary storage devices for the UNIVAC computers. Ampex Corporation introduced the first video recording device to use magnetic tape in 1956.

Magnetite

== Description ==
Black opaque mineral composed of ferro-ferric oxide that is strongly magnetic. Magnetite is a common mineral and large deposits have been found in Sweden, Norway, the Urals, Italy, Switzerland, Australia, Brazil, United States (New Jersey, Arkansas, Utah, New York, New Mexico, California) and Canada (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia). Magnetite is brittle and fractures unevenly. When it possess a polarity because the molecules had time to line up before the magma cooled, magnetite is called lodestone. Lodestones, or natural magnets, have been found in Siberia, the Island of Elba and in Arkansas. Magnetite was used in antiquity for jewelry, amulet beads, seals and as a substitute for black pearls. It is also used as a black pigment in paints, linoleum, ceramic glazes, and glass.

Majolica

== Description ==
A type of tin-glazed earthenware first produced on the island of Majorca. The technique was transferred to Italy in the 12th century and later spread slowly throughout Europe. Now, even though several similar methods are used elsewhere in Europe (faience, delftware), the term 'majolica' refers only to the tin-glazed pottery made in Italy. The white majolica tin glazes were decorated in blue (cobalt), yellow (antimony), red (iron), green (copper), and purple (manganese).
