A multidisciplinary study conducted by the Microfluidics Cluster of the UPV/EHU has observed and characterized a novel system involving the use of an external magnetic field to manipulate the ...

Microplastics are the crumbs of our plastic world, tiny pieces that come from bigger items breaking apart or from products like synthetic clothing and packaging. They're now everywhere. Scientists ...

As global water resources face increasing pressure from industrial and agricultural activities, scientists are looking for innovative ways to clean and reuse wastewater sustainably. Researchers from ...

Magnetic treatment of water encompasses a range of non-chemical techniques that employ static or alternating magnetic fields to modify the physicochemical characteristics of aqueous systems. Through ...

Producing hot water off-grid is a surprisingly energy-intensive activity, and although it looks simple on its surface it can get quite complicated especially when used in large scale for something ...

- I'm trying to bend water with a magnet. This paper did it, which is incredible. It came out in March of this year, and they used some pretty standard neodymium magnets to move and deflect a ...

Putting tiny magnetic particles inside ordinary water droplets can turn them into liquid acrobats – the droplets can climb steps, leap over obstacles and jump-start chemical reactions. This level of ...
