A new 3D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

A new 3-D printing technique can create paper-thin "magnetic muscles," which can be applied to origami structures to make them move.

NC State engineers 3D-print paper-thin magnetic muscles that turn origami robots into moving drug-delivery machines.

Ferrofluid is a liquid with nano-sized iron particles that was developed by NASA in the 1960s. Artist Eric Mesplé has been experimenting with this magnetic liquid in his art for the past dozen years, ...

Shape-shifting liquid metal robots might not be limited to science fiction anymore. Miniature machines can switch from solid to liquid and back again to squeeze into tight spaces and perform tasks ...

Scientists at SIT in Japan produced high-performance MgB2 by ultrasonicating boron (B) in 2-propanol for varying durations. The inset displays high magnification FE-SEM images of B particles obtained ...

Using doped polymers, researchers have made magnetic nanoparticles in a rainbow of colors, including white (ACS Appl. Polym. Mater. 2020, DOI: 10.1021/acsapm.0c00038). This broad range of colors has ...
