How coded magnets work
A coded (programmable) magnet has many small magnetic regions — maxels, or magnetic pixels — printed across its face in a designed pattern. That pattern is what gives it its behavior: where it grips, where it releases, and how it aligns. It's the programmable-magnet technology pioneered as Polymagnet by Correlated Magnetics Research.
