Researchers have created a magnet-containing gel mat that simulates the mechanical forces exerted on muscle cells during exercise. The novel ‘workout mat’ might assist in testing treatments for people with muscle injuries and neuromuscular diseases or … Continue reading Magnetic ‘workout mat’ helps muscle cells grow & work together
It seems there’s no end to surprises from everybody’s favorite wonder material, graphene. MIT physicists have now discovered yet another brand new electronic state hiding in this overachieving little material – something they give the bizarre name of “… Continue reading Bizarre new electronic state discovered in five-layer graphene
Astronomers have discovered a new type of star, and it appears to be a major clue in solving a long-standing cosmic mystery. This massive helium star has an ultra-strong magnetic field, meaning it could be the preliminary stage of a magnetar – a dense … Continue reading Astronomers discover new type of star that could unlock cosmic mystery
Gaming hardware company Corsair has announced a “game-changing” keyboard called the K70 Max that features proprietary magnetic-mechanical switches for the better control and customization of each keystroke.Continue ReadingCategory: Computers, Technolog… Continue reading Corsair gives PC gamers a magnetic advantage with K70 Max keyboard
Inspections of tall metal structures or machines can be difficult for people to perform up-close and in person, and while aerial drones may help, their limited battery life is a problem. That’s where the magnetic-footed Magnecko robot is intended to co… Continue reading Wall-climbing Magnecko robot is like a cross between a gecko and a spider
Magnetic stirrers are a core part of many chemistry labs. They offer many advantages for ensuring the effective mixing of solutions compared to other methods of stirring, including consistency, precise …read more Continue reading Stirring Up 3D-Printed Lab Equipment
There are all kinds of technology that appear through the ages that find immediate success, promise to revolutionize the world, but fade to obscurity almost as quickly. Things like the …read more Continue reading Magnetic Bubble Memory Brought to Life on Heathkit
Stanford scientists have discovered a major biological mechanism behind severe depression, and shown how to treat it. Signals between two key parts of the brain seem to flow the wrong way in people with depression, but magnetic stimulation reverses the… Continue reading Magnetic stimulation treats depression by fixing “backwards” brain signals
One of the challenges of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery lies in getting surgical instruments into the patient’s body via a narrow catheter. Scientists have set about addressing that problem, with magnetic instruments that pop into and out of s… Continue reading Minimally-invasive surgical tools pop into shape inside the body
While metal detectors are useful for detecting land mines, they can be fooled by buried metallic debris … plus some mines don’t contain any metal. A new system is claimed to work better, by reading the unique molecular signature of the explosives used … Continue reading MRead tech promises faster, more accurate land mine detection
