Researchers have found that exposing a certain class of particles -- micron-sized beads endowed with a special magnetic sensitivity -- to a rapidly alternating, rotating magnetic field causes them to ...

Mixing of particles under a 40 G, 10 Hz rotating magnetic field, with monomers remaining in a gas-like phase. Credit: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2025). DOI: ...

Researchers have developed silk iron microparticles (SIMPs) -- magnetic, biodegradable carriers designed to deliver therapies directly to disease sites like aneurysms or tumors. The particles are ...

Magnetic separation has become increasingly popular in biomedical science and industry. This technology uses magnetic properties of micro/nano-sized particles to separate macromolecules of interest, ...

Spin orientation preference may point to a previously unknown influence of the strong nuclear force—and a way to measure its local fluctuations. Certain particles that emerge from a hot soup of matter ...

A new study in Nature introduces a scalable method for creating magnetorheological fibers and fabrics that actively change shape, stiffness, and motion in response to magnetic fields. This is ...

Clay minerals are a major constituent of the earth's surface and are mainly found in the sediments of lakes, rivers and oceans. The properties of clay and claystone crucially depend on how the tiny ...
