One of the commonly used tools is the lab magnetic stirrer. This works in such a manner that it creates a magnetic field that ...

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 ...

An oil-soluble dye reveals how liquid magnets rotate when exposed to a magnetic field. Image Credit: Xubo Liu, Berkeley National Lab Share Scientists have always loved fiddling with the laws of ...

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.

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Miniaturized chemical and analysis processes have many advantages, such as in reduced use of chemical reagents and solvents, precisely controlled reaction condition, much ...

Video of three ferromagnetic liquid droplets containing iron oxide nanoparticle dispersions shaped into cylinders using a microfluidic device, and then locked in shape by the formation of magnetic ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Chemists at the University of California, Riverside have constructed liquid crystals with optical properties that can be instantly and reversibly controlled by an external magnetic ...

The rules about what makes a good magnet may not be as rigid as scientists thought. Using a mixture containing magnetic nanoparticles, researchers have now created liquid droplets that behave like ...
