Scientists created a metallic liquid capable of maintaining a magnetic field for the first time in history — and they did it entirely by accident. The researchers plan to launch new studies to sort ...

The classic red-and-white horseshoe magnet may have worked for Wile E. Coyote, but it can be a little inflexible. Now researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have created a more ...

Video: Scientists at Berkeley Lab have made a new material that is both liquid and magnetic, opening the door to a new area of science in magnetic soft matter. Their findings could lead to a ...

For the first time, scientists have created a permanently magnetic liquid. These liquid droplets can morph into various shapes and be externally manipulated to move around, according to a new study.

Magnets as we know them are always solid, but the closest thing we have to a magnetic liquid is a class of liquids called ferrofluids. Made up of iron-oxide particles suspended in liquids, these ...

(Nanowerk News) Conventional magnets are hard and rigid but have made great contributions to society and to modern industry, says materials scientist Thomas Russell of the University of Massachusetts ...

A microfluidic system with channels lined with magnetic liquids can ease the flow of samples and safely transport delicate cells, possibly helping to miniaturize microfluidic devices (Nature 2020, DOI ...

Earth’s magnetic field is constantly swirling and shifting thanks to a colossal ocean of liquid metal sloshing around in its ...

Scientists have made a new material that is both liquid and magnetic, opening the door to a new area of science in magnetic soft matter. The new material could lead to a revolutionary class of ...

Magnets are widely used today for all sorts of scenarios from medical devices to storing data inside computers. The thing that magnets have in common is that they are made of solid material.
