Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

Energy efficiency – either for electric or ICE cars – is achieved by one of these three pillars: mass, aerodynamics or powertrain. Researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University will be able to ...

Iron filings dropped on a sheet of paper and given a good shake move about haphazardly without settling into any particular arrangement. If this process is repeated with a bar magnet placed underneath ...

Under a microscope, a bouquet of lollipop-like structures, each smaller than a grain of sand, waves gently in a Petri dish of ...

'Soft robots,' medical devices and implants, and next-generation drug delivery methods could soon be guided with magnetism -- thanks to a metal-free magnetic gel developed by researchers. Carbon-based ...
