<ul><li>Scientists in Spain have created microscopic “magnetic flowers” that enhance magnetic fields in a small area.</li><li>These flower-shaped structures, made from a nickel-iron alloy, could lead to more powerful sensors and lower energy use for magnetic devices.</li><li>By changing the shape, size, and number of petals, researchers can control the enhancement of the magnetic field.</li><li>The microflowers could increase the sensitivity of magnetic sensors by over 100 times, allowing them to detect weaker magnetic signals.</li></ul>
