When you consider that almost every single cell in your body has more than a meter of DNA coiled up inside its nucleus, it seems like it should be pretty easy to get some to study. But with all the ...

The magnetic power to attract—and repel—is used in several different ways to sort and separate materials within recycling streams. Magnets can be seen everywhere across the recycling spectrum. From ...

Possibly the only good thing to come out of the Deepwater Horizon disaster is the subsequent increase in research into finding more effective ways to cle_n up oil spills, including such initiatives as ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- A magnetic separation technique developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Purdue University makes it relatively simple to sort through beads ...

Magnetic bead separation is widely used in the life sciences field. From cell sorting to molecular diagnostics, this technology can be used with a wide range of volumes, from a few nanoliters in ...

Magnetic separation techniques have long been at the forefront of mineral processing, offering a robust method for recovering valuable magnetic minerals from complex ore matrices. The process ...

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 ...

The entire sample is subjected to a well-defined magnetic force, so variations are limited to the properties of the suspension (particles, buffer). Its precise separation parameters ensure a smooth ...

The CBS department of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is launching a call for applications for a post-doctoral fellowship specializing in magnetic/electromagnetic separation in solid and liquid ...
