Scientists created a metallic liquid capable of maintaining a magnetic field for the first time in history — and they did it entirely by accident. The researchers plan to launch new studies to sort ...

Magnetic materials in a quantum spin liquid phase are of great interest in the pursuit of exotic state of matter and quantum ...

The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices -- technology that can power, store, sense or transport information - ...

Video: Scientists at Berkeley Lab have made a new material that is both liquid and magnetic, opening the door to a new area of science in magnetic soft matter. Their findings could lead to a ...

For the first time, scientists have created a permanently magnetic liquid. These liquid droplets can morph into various shapes and be externally manipulated to move around, according to a new study.

The classic red-and-white horseshoe magnet may have worked for Wile E. Coyote, but it can be a little inflexible. Now researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have created a more ...

(Nanowerk News) Conventional magnets are hard and rigid but have made great contributions to society and to modern industry, says materials scientist Thomas Russell of the University of Massachusetts ...

Magnets as we know them are always solid, but the closest thing we have to a magnetic liquid is a class of liquids called ferrofluids. Made up of iron-oxide particles suspended in liquids, these ...

Liquid nitrogen isn’t exactly an everyday material, but it’s acquired conveniently enough to be used in extreme overclocking experiments, classroom demonstrations, chemistry and physics ...

A microfluidic system with channels lined with magnetic liquids can ease the flow of samples and safely transport delicate cells, possibly helping to miniaturize microfluidic devices (Nature 2020, DOI ...
