Ytterbium manganese dibismuthide, or YbMnBi₂, is a magnetic compound that Rice University physicist Pengcheng Dai and his team found can enter an unusual state: a magnetic liquid crystal. In a recent ...

For the first time, scientists have created a permanently magnetic liquid. These liquid droplets can morph into various shapes and be externally manipulated to move around, according to a new study.

Magnets are widely used today for all sorts of scenarios from medical devices to storing data inside computers. The thing that magnets have in common is that they are made of solid material.

Magnets as we know them are always solid, but the closest thing we have to a magnetic liquid is a class of liquids called ferrofluids. Made up of iron-oxide particles suspended in liquids, these ...

Scientists have developed a remarkable liquid robot that blurs the line between machines and living organisms. Created by researchers from Seoul National University and Gachon University, the robot is ...
