Chains of nickel ‘nanoballs’ coated in nickel carbide exhibit strong one-dimensional magnetic properties. Magnetic nanostructures consisting of a core and shell of different materials have many ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a technique for using chains of magnetic nanoparticles to manipulate elastic polymers in three dimensions, which could be used to ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers presented magnetic soft-robotic chains (MaSoChains) that use magnetic and elastic energies to fold themselves into large stable ...

Magnetic-superconducting hybrid systems are key to unlocking topological superconductivity, a state that could host Majorana modes with potential applications in fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Magnetic bead separation is a fast, effective, and clean process that scientists use as an alternative to filtration and centrifugation techniques for separation. Magnetic beads and particles can be ...

Microrobot swarms self-assemble into artificial microtubules under confinement, moving cargo through tight channels and biological fluids using controlled magnetic fields that enable reversible ...
