A robot boat with a propeller made from liquid magnets could be a safer alternative than solid metal blades, which can damage wildlife. Jun Shintake at the University of Electro-Communications in ...

Physicists have discovered stacked pancakes of 'liquid' magnetism that may account for the strange electronic behavior of some layered helical magnets. Physicists have discovered "stacked pancakes of ...

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 ...

In this video I show you what happens when you pour liquid nitrogen on a giant neodymium magnet. I show you how you can increase eddy currents by decreasing the temperature and also how you can ...
