In this paper we propose an innovative prototype of a haptic display for whole-hand immersive exploration. We envision a new concept of haptic display, the Haptic Black Box concept, which can be imagined as a box where the operator can poke his/her bare hand, and interact with the virtual object by freely moving the hand without mechanical constraints. In this way sensory receptors on the whole...

Composition, synthesis and structural properties of ferrofluids and magnetorheological fluids are reviewed and compared. The similarities and main differences between the two types of magnetically controllable fluids are outlined and exemplified in the paper. Chemical synthesis and structural characterization of magnetizable fluids for engineering and biomedical applications are thoroughly disc...

Use of an 125I radioimmunoassay involving antiserum coupled to magnetizable cellulose, after prednisolone-21-phosphate interference is removed by dichloromethane extraction at pH 7.4 and endogenous glucocorticoid interference is removed by selective chemical derivatization with Girard's Reagent T [(carboxymethyl)trimethylammonium chloride hydrazide], allows determination of prednisolone in 10 m...

We use Monte Carlo and quaternion molecular dynamics simulations to study the self-assembly of intriguing structures which form in colloidal suspensions of small magnetite particles. We show that the only stable isomers with few particles, a ring and a chain, can be efficiently interconverted using a magnetizable tip. We propose to use the oscillating dipole field of the tip to locally anneal t...

ABSTRACT We study magnetohydrodynamic stability of neutron star core matter composed neutrons, protons, and leptons threaded by a magnetar-strength magnetic field 1014–1017 G, where quantum electrodynamical effects Landau quantization fermions are important. Stability is determined using the Friedman–Schutz formalism for canonical energy fluid perturbations, which we calculate magnetizable with...

We present results of theoretical and experimental study of effect of dense drop-like aggregates on the magnetoviscous effects in suspensions of non-Brownian magnetizable particles. Unlike the previous works on this subject, we do not restrict ourselves by the limiting case of highly elongated drops. This allows us to reproduce the experimental rheological curve in wide region of the shear rate...
