A physicist in the US has proposed a new way to separate red and white blood cells using a magnetic field. The method, which has not yet been proven in the laboratory, exploits the fact that white and ...

MIT engineers have come up with a method of extracting clean water and reusable oil from oil spills using nanoparticles that turn the oil into magnetic ferrofluids. When oil spills occur, the polluted ...

Understanding how constituent magnetic fields affect the final position of retained magnet beads, particularly in high throughput screening (HTS) applications, is important when developing protocols ...

At just a few atoms of thickness, 2D materials offer revolutionary possibilities for new technologies that are ...

Modern low-power solutions to computer memory rely heavily on the manipulation of the magnetic properties of materials. Understanding the influence of the chemical properties of these materials on ...

Engineering researchers used magnetic nanoparticles to separate oil from water through a simple process that relies on electrostatic force and a magnet. The engineers believe their new technique could ...

In a leap toward greener tech, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have discovered a way to control magnetic textures using electric fields no bulky magnets needed. Their star material? A ...

Researchers have demonstrated that microscopic drug delivery containers can be magnetically steered to their targets, advancing the development of precision medicine for treating diseases such as ...

A new permanent magnet design of quasi-axisymmetric stellarator was made by researchers led by Prof. XU Guosheng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of ...
