Have a think about which objects should be made from magnetic metals and which objects should not. Two metals that aren't magnetic are gold and silver. They are often used for making jewellery ...

The second challenge was how to use a magnetic field to remotely lift and move objects that are not magnetic.” To address those challenges, the researchers created a “metasheet” that consists of an ...

The second challenge was how to use a magnetic field to remotely lift and move objects that are not magnetic.” To solve this problem, the team used an elastic polymer to create a “metasheet ...

“There is not much research on using magnets to manipulate non-magnetic objects. It is very, very hard,” says Yinding Chi, another NC State researcher and lead author of the study. The idea ...
