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 ...

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, ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

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 ...

Researchers have unlocked a new method for producing one class of 2D material and for supercharging its magnetic properties. At just a few atoms of thickness, 2D materials offer revolutionary ...

An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich has succeeded in visualizing magnetism inside solids with unprecedented precision. Using a newly developed method, the scientists were ...
