Taking advantage of small-scale physics, microrobots with inherent magnetic properties can be manipulated either with surface locomotion or made to swim through complex biological fluids in 3-dimension using a portable magnetic control system. Employing microrobots […]
New observation could provide way to increase the strength of interaction between light and matter, eventually leading to smaller lasers and other improved photonic technologies […]
A team of researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory has developed a magnetocaloric heat pump that matches current vapor-compression heat pumps for weight, cost and performance. The achievement represents a significant step in the quest for more sustainable cooling and heating technology. […]
Magnetic cilia – artificial hairs whose movement is powered by embedded magnetic particles – have been around for a while, and are of interest for applications in soft robotics, transporting objects and mixing liquids. However, existing magnetic cilia move in a fixed way. Researchers have now demonstrated a technique for creating magnetic cilia that can be “reprogrammed,” changing their magnetic properties at room temperature to change the motion of the cilia as needed. […]
Scientists create magnetism in a non-magnet at room temperature for the first time, with implications in quantum tech and computer science. […]
Engaged in diverse areas of research and development, Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Draper has a way of touching cutting-edge magnetic technologies in many of its activities, dating back to its founder who was a pioneer in inertial navigation. Recent activities include: […]
As BepiColombo sped past Mercury during its June 2023 flyby, it encountered a variety of features in the tiny planet’s magnetic field. These measurements provide a tantalising taste of the mysteries that the mission is set to investigate when it arrives in orbit around the Solar System’s innermost planet. […]
