Electron Pulses Used to Manipulate Nanomagnets and Store Information

Magnets and magnetic occurrences underpin the huge majority of advanced data storage, and the measurement scales for research dedicated on magnetic behaviors continue to shrink with the rest of digital technology.

Rotating Magnetic Nanoparticles Could Mechanically Destroy Cancer Cells

An international team in which a UPM researcher is involved has shown that it is possible to mechanically destroy cancer cells by rotating magnetic nanoparticles attached to them in elongated aggregates.

Researchers Design Hierarchical Structure of Magnetic Nanoparticles to Study Influence of Symmetry and Shape

In many ways, magnets are still mysterious. They get their (often powerful) effects from the microscopic interactions of individual electrons, and from the interplay between their collective behavior at different scales. But if you can’t move these electrons around to study how factors like symmetry impact the larger-scale magnetic effects, what can you do instead?

Innovative Approach for Targeted Drug Delivery Through Nanodiamond-Enhanced MRI

Nanodiamonds are synthetic industrial diamonds that measure only a few nanometers. Recently, nanodiamonds have attracted significant attention due to their ability to carry out targeted delivery of cancer drugs and vaccines, and for other applications. To date, there have been limited possibilities for imaging nanodiamonds.

Researchers Working Towards Use of Nanomagnets for Future Data Storage

If only one atom or small molecule was necessary for a single unit of data (a zero or a one as in binary digital technology), enormous volumes of data could be stored in the smallest amount of space.

Iron Nanocubes may Have Favorable Impact on Future of NO2 Sensing

Although they sound like a recent discovery, nanoparticles have been in use for centuries. For instance, the famous Lycurgus cup, crafted by 4th century Roman artisans, features dichroic glass, with silver and gold nanoparticles scattered throughout, giving the cup a red appearance when illuminated from behind and a green appearance when light is shining on it from the front.

Study Reveals Three Layers of Graphene can Create New Type of Magnet

As metals possess a large density of electrons, the wave nature of electrons can only be viewed if metallic wires measuring a few atoms in width are created.
