Metals are the only substances that are magnetic. But some metals are magnetic and some are not. The most common magnetic metal is iron. You don't see too many objects made of pure iron but you do see ...

A kirigami design where the cuts’ length-to-width ratio was six was way more responsive to magnets, and that, in turn, ...

“You still need to identify things [they] say that may not resonate ... you can’t expect to command a room and express a ...

Tiny, ant-inspired magnetic microbots are capable of scaling obstacles, transporting heavy loads, and redefining medical ...

Scientists at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have created a magnetic “metasheet” that can move objects and liquids around without needing robot arms or grippers. The device is ...

Microrobot swarms developed in South Korea achieve tasks like transporting objects and unclogging tubes using magnetic fields ...

Nov. 18, 2020 — An easy way to make millirobots by coating objects with a glue-like magnetic spray has been developed. Driven by the magnetic field, the coated objects can crawl, walk, or roll ...

Researchers have developed a novel device that couples magnetic fields and kirigami design principles to remotely control the movement of a flexible dimpled surface, allowing it to manipulate objects ...

Scientists have unveiled swarms of tiny magnetic robots that mimic the collaborative strength of ants to achieve incredible ...

A robot made of magnetic slime with a custard-like consistency can navigate narrow passages, grasp objects and fix broken circuits. It could be deployed inside the body to perform tasks such as ...
