WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers at Purdue and Duke universities have developed a technique that uses a magnetic field to selectively separate tiny magnetic particles, representing a highly ...

While the magnetic dipoles are all the same magnitude, the direction of the dipoles can be controlled so that when driven by a rotating magnetic field, particles spin around, bump into each other and ...

The joint research team was led by Prof. WANG Hui and Prof. ZHANG Xin from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science. In recent years, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have ...

If you made a motor out of a magnet, a wire coil, and some needles, you probably remember that motors and generators depend on a rotating magnetic field. Once you know how it works, the concept is ...

A massive solar tornado recently towered over the sun's north pole for three days. The plasma twister was created by a rapidly rotating magnetic field. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich are planning to use magnetic bacteria to fight cancerous tumors. They have now found a way for these microorganisms to effectively cross blood vessel walls and subsequently ...

Scientists have developed swarms of tiny magnetic robots that work together like ants to achieve Herculean feats, including traversing and picking up objects many times their size. The findings ...

No matter how its done, with whatever level of fakery, magnetic levitation just looks cool. We don’t know about you, but merely walking past the tackiest gadget shop, the displays of levitating and ...

Liang and Lim spent three "grueling" years developing a recipe to make the panels by lithography, Cohen said. While the magnetic dipoles are all the same magnitude, the direction of the dipoles can be ...
