Magnetic cilia are small artificial hair-like structures whose movement is controlled by tiny magnetic particles embedded inside of them. They are a popular material, frequently being used in soft robotics, droplet and particle control systems, sensors and microfluidics applications. NC State researchers have developed a new technique for making magnetic cilian that are reprogrammable, allowing them to be repurposed for new functions or uses.

Green is the fundamental color of life on Earth, after all. But what if life on faraway planets wasn’t green at all? In fact, what would be purple?

NCEMS will support 36 working groups across the country each consisting of six to 10 scientists in its first five years. The center will enable research that uses existing, publicly available data to glean new insights about how complex biological systems emerge from simpler molecules. Findings from the research could eventually inform the development of disease treatments and other applications such as minimizing the negative effects of aging.
