A physicist in the US has proposed a new way to separate red and white blood cells using a magnetic field. The method, which has not yet been proven in the laboratory, exploits the fact that white and ...

The magnetic power to attract—and repel—is used in several different ways to sort and separate materials within recycling streams. Magnets can be seen everywhere across the recycling spectrum. From ...

Engineering researchers used magnetic nanoparticles to separate oil from water through a simple process that relies on electrostatic force and a magnet. The engineers believe their new technique could ...

In a leap toward greener tech, researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute have discovered a way to control magnetic textures using electric fields no bulky magnets needed. Their star material? A ...
