The world's first practical plastic magnet has been created at the University of Durham, according to a report in New Scientist magazine. After three months of mostly fruitless experiments, ...

Physicists have developed an inexpensive, highly accurate magnetic field sensor for scientific and possibly consumer uses based on a “spintronic” organic thin-film semiconductor that basically is ...

It looks like a small piece of transparent film with tiny engravings on it, and is flexible enough to be bent into a tube. Yet, this piece of “smart” plastic demonstrates excellent performance in ...

Scientists from the I. Kant Baltic Federal University, together with colleagues from Perm National Research Polytechnic University (PNRPU), Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after Kh.M.

A team of US researchers from the universities of Ohio State and Utah has developed the first magnetic plastic whose magnetism is tuned by light. The plastic becomes 1.5 times more magnetic when blue ...

Scientists have successfully embedded a powerful magnetic memory chip on a flexible plastic material. This malleable memory chip hails a breakthrough in the flexible electronics revolution, and brings ...
