Researchers have developed a technique that uses chains of magnetic nanoparticles to manipulate elastic polymers in three dimensions, which could be used to remotely control new 'soft robots.

A research team led by Prof. Shao Dingfu from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

The team used a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) to locate MQPs at the ends of atomic chains of magnetic iron lying on the surface of a lead superconductor. MQPs have special properties that could ...

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 ...

Using a rotating magnetic field they show how multiple chains of microscopic magnetic bead-based robots can link up to reach impressive speeds swimming through in a microfluidic environment.

Young consumers are flocking to ‘magnetic’ chains such as McDonald’s, Wingstop, and Crumbl Cookies, according to a new report. McDonald’s, Wingstop, and Starbucks are among Gen Z’s most ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

The metal object, which 10-year-old swallowed, rested in his body for 3 years Cairo: Surgeons at a hospital in Saudi Arabia have removed a magnetic chain from a boy’s abdomen where it had ...

Ever since the first multi-gear drivetrain was added to early mountain bikes, riders have been looking for a way to quiet ...
