Programmable Springs on Nanoscale: Magnetic Picosprings Usher in New Era of Micromanipulation

Researchers at the Chemnitz University of Technology, the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Leibniz IFW Dresden have developed controllable springs at arbitrary chosen locations within soft three-dimensional structures. These “picosprings” have large and adjustable compliancy and can be remotely controlled through magnetic fields, allowing for articulated motion in microbots and measuring forces in interactions with cells.

Self-Assembled Magnetic Nanoparticles May Enhance Anticancer Drug Nintedanib

Last year, an APTES monolayer covering self-assembled magnetic nanospheres for controlled drug delivery of the anticancer drug, Nintedanib, was downloaded 4,458 times, according to a joint research study from Chemnitz University of Technology and Shivaji University (India). This places the publication in the top ten most accessed papers in Nature’s peer-reviewed magazine Scientific Reports.
