Researchers developed 3D printed, muscle-inspired magnetic actuators that push, pull, crawl, and grasp. The research paper describes a family of soft actuators that convert applied magnetic fields ...

The research team built a controlled experimental system consisting of two parallel magnetic layers: a two-dimensional array of tiny rotatable magnets on the top and a fixed magnetic substrate with a ...

Magnetic domains can take on a wide range of structures. In certain soft magnetic materials, they form complex zig-zag patterns known as maze domains. These patterns change in complicated ways as ...

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, US have used visible light to both image and manipulate the domains of a chiral antiferromagnet (AFM). By “painting” complex patterns onto ...

Scientists have created the world's thinnest magnet, just one atom thick, which could revolutionize computer memory in the ...
