Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a new soft robot that can walk at roughly the speed of a human, activated by light and magnetic fields. The robot can squeeze into tight spaces ...

The rapid expansion of soft robots and smart electronic devices is driving demand for materials that can not only move and ...

Iron filings dropped on a sheet of paper and given a good shake move about haphazardly without settling into any particular arrangement. If this process is repeated with a bar magnet placed underneath ...

A research team has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, widely used as a soft magnetic material in transformers and motors, can be transformed into a 'transverse' thermoelectric ...

Researchers at Concordia have developed an AI-assisted technique and a robotic platform that may one day help surgeons ...

Soft magnetic materials are crucial for energy technologies, but face challenges at high frequencies. An interdisciplinary group of researchers propose a novel method to improve their properties for ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Precision in drug delivery has long posed a significant challenge to the medical field. Relying on the body’s circulatory system to transport medications often results in ...

Figure. Enhancement of the anomalous Nernst effect by microstructure engineering in nanoscale. 1. A research team from NIMS and Nagoya University has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, ...
