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 ...

A mysterious magnetic material once thought to host an exotic “quantum spin liquid” has turned out to be something entirely ...

Although the magnetic field of Mars hasn't been in effect for billions of years, the evidence it left behind may suggest that the planet's core is entirely liquid. Magnetic imprints still exist on ...

From time to time, the Earth's magnetic poles flip, leaving us without a protective magnetic field for up to centuries ...

Nematic materials are made of elongated molecules that align in a preferred direction, but, like in a fluid, are spaced out irregularly. The best-known nematic materials are liquid crystals, which are ...

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, ...

A magnetic marker liquid that can help surgeons determine whether breast cancer has metastasised has been recommended for NHS use in England and Wales. Magtrace and Sentimag should be an option to ...

It sounds like a riddle: What do you get if you take two small diamonds, put a small magnetic crystal between them and squeeze them together very slowly? The answer is a magnetic liquid, which seems ...
