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 ...

Scientists have created “soft” magnets that can flow and change shape, and that could be a boon to medicine and robotics. By Knvul Sheikh Lodestone, a naturally-occurring iron oxide, was the first ...

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 ...

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 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.

(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 ...

In this video I show you what happens when you pour liquid nitrogen on a giant neodymium magnet. I show you how you can increase eddy currents by decreasing the temperature and also how you can ...

(Nanowerk News) Inventors of centuries past and scientists of today have found ingenious ways to make our lives better with magnets – from the magnetic needle on a compass to magnetic data storage ...

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 ...
