When you consider that almost every single cell in your body has more than a meter of DNA coiled up inside its nucleus, it seems like it should be pretty easy to get some to study. But with all the ...

The magnetic power to attract—and repel—is used in several different ways to sort and separate materials within recycling streams. Magnets can be seen everywhere across the recycling spectrum. From ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- A magnetic separation technique developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Purdue University makes it relatively simple to sort through beads ...

Traditional magnetic separators, however, present a challenge: they generate a magnetic force that is very high near the side of the vessel closest to the magnet and decreases rapidly with distance.

Magnetic separation has become increasingly popular in biomedical science and industry. This technology uses magnetic properties of micro/nano-sized particles to separate macromolecules of interest, ...

Magnetic separation techniques have long been at the forefront of mineral processing, offering a robust method for recovering valuable magnetic minerals from complex ore matrices. The process ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Probably any chemist must have dreamt about it: Quick isolation of a chemical from a reaction mixture without the hassle of tedious liquid handling lasting for hours. The problem ...
