Separation of cells is a key application area of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices. Among the
various methods, magnetic separation of cells utilizing microfluidic devices offers the merits …

Ferrofluids have many traditional applications in the electrical, mechanical and optical fields,
including transformers, dampers, imaging systems, and so on. However, in more recent …

We have synthesized nanowires with an iron core and an iron oxide (magnetite) shell by a
facile low-cost fabrication process. The magnetic properties of the nanowires can be tuned …

The isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) directly from blood, as a liquid biopsy, could
lead to a paradigm shift in cancer clinical care by providing an earlier diagnosis, a more …

Exploiting and combining different properties of nanomaterials is considered a potential
route for next generation cancer therapies. Magnetic nanowires (NWs) have shown good …

In this paper we present a review of the application of two types of magnetic sensors—
fluxgate magnetometers and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensors—in the oil/gas …

Single-cell analysis has been widely applied in various biomedical applications, such as
cancer diagnostics, immune status monitoring, and drug screening. To perform an accurate …

Single cell analysis has received increasing attention recently in both academia and clinics,
and there is an urgent need for effective upstream cell sample preparation. Two extremely …

Highly efficient magnetic release from nanocomposite microparticles is shown, which are
made of Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) hydrogel with embedded iron nanowires. A simple …

Conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy are often insufficient in eliminating
cancer and are accompanied by severe side effects, due to a lack in the specificity of their …
