Moving graphite particles in liquid using magnetism
A way of transporting tiny particles of graphite in liquid using magnetic fields has been developed by UCL scientists. It opens up possibilities for new ways of precisely transporting specific components in fluids, including in biocompatible fluids such as in the...

Special Temperatures for Magnetic Discovery
Getting to low temperature is something we take for granted today: laboratories across the world are awash with liquid nitrogen at -196C and body scanners in hospitals use liquid helium at only 4.2 degrees above absolute zero (-269 C). Yet what underpins this low...
