Researchers use magnetically actuated microrobots to deliver stem cells to tissue targets
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in South Korea and one in Switzerland has demonstrated that it is possible to use magnetically actuated microrobots to deliver stem cells to targeted tissue. In their ...
Researchers succeed in controlling extremely short-wavelength spin waves
In recent years, electronic data processing has been evolving in one direction only: The industry has downsized its components to the nanometer range. But this process is now reaching its physical limits. Researchers at the ...
