Of the body’s organs, the lungs are among the trickiest to take a biopsy and treat cancer in, both due to how important they are, as well as due to …read more Continue reading The Healing Touch of Magnetic Tentacles in Photothermal Lung Cancer Therapy
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
Silicon has reigned supreme in electronics for the better part of a century, and now a new version might help extend its use into the future. Engineers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have discovered a brand new form of the material called Q-… Continue reading Meet Q-silicon, a new magnetic material for spintronic quantum computers
The famous hoverboards of Back to the Future haven’t quite gotten here yet, but that hasn’t stopped anyone with a unique personal vehicle from using the name any time they …read more Continue reading Hoverboard Rides on Eddy Currents
Magnets, how do they work? Although the quantum mechanics behind ferromagnetism are by no means easy, a few simple experiments can give you a good grasp of how magnets attract …read more Continue reading Hands-On Museum Exhibit Brings Electromagnetism to Life
Many people are already creeped out by quadruped robots, which walk on four legs instead of rolling on wheels or tracks. Well, the MARVEL robot likely won’t do much to change such feelings, as it can walk straight up ferromagnetic metal walls.Continue … Continue reading MARVEL quadruped robot uses magnetic feet to walk up metal walls
Carl Friedrich Gauss was, to put it mildly, a polymath responsible for a large percentage of the things we take for granted in the modern world. As a physicist and …read more Continue reading Racing Cars on a PCB
Rare earth elements are a key part of electronic and mechanical devices, but they’re in short supply. Now, scientists have found a way to recreate a promising alternative – a “cosmic magnet” that normally takes millions of years to form in meteorites c… Continue reading “Cosmic magnet” recreated in lab as alternative to rare earths
Five years ago we heard about the compact millo blender, which was reportedly only 25% as loud as a regular blender. Well, the new millo air is claimed to be even slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, and to produce no motor noise at all.Continue R… Continue reading Quieter millo air blender uses magnets in place of a regular motor
An exotic state of matter originally hypothesized almost 50 years ago has been observed for the first time. Created by Harvard researchers, this material called quantum spin liquid could eventually help improve quantum computers.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Harvard scientists observe new state of matter, a quantum spin liquid
