Physicists could do the ‘impossible’: Create and destroy magnetic fields from afar
Scientists have figured out a way to create and cancel magnetic fields from afar. The method involves running electric current through a special arrangement of wires to create a magnetic field that looks as if it came from another source. This illusion has real applications: Imagine a cancer drug that could be delivered directly to […]
Growing new cartilage with magnetic fields and hydrogels
Researchers use an enhanced technique to pattern unaltered cells within a 3D hydrogel, allowing them to recreate complex biological tissue for regenerative medicine. Image credit: Dr. Manuel González Reyes on Pixabay The dream for regenerative medicine is to one day repair broken bones and tissue by simply growing a replacement using a patient’s own cells. […]
