Can you make or manufacture a cubed magnet that has the polarity N, S, N, S on the walls of the cube pointing outwards??

you probably could, since the north and south on a regular magnet touch.

Hi. Not from one piece. If you start out with a N-S bar magnet and cut one end off to make a cube you still have a N-S magnet. Only two sides out of the six would be polarized. You could, of course, glue six N-S magnets into a plastic block, but I don't think this is what you meant.

No. A cube has six sides. N and S must be opposite each other. The two remaining side can be niether N nor S because they would be next to another and not opposite.

If it doesn't conflict with the laws of physics you can do anything you want. Magnets. The step child of modern science til recently, I bet.

nope, it would only have the 2 poles traveling length wise
