Researchers Magnetically Control Nanoparticles Inside Cells
Scientists have figured out a way to make tiny magnetic particles that they can watch and manipulate inside the body.
An international team of researchers built nanoparticles whose core is made of magnetic materials encapsulated in a uniform fluorescent coating. The breakthrough means that researchers can watch the movement of the particles inside an individual cell and move them around that cell by applying a magnetic field.
