Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic iron nanominerals, which function as tiny compasses that allow the microbes to navigate using Earth's geomagnetic field. Earth's iron cycle is a very ...

So far, researchers have harnessed swimming bacteria for targeted drug delivery. In one case, magnetotactic bacteria guided by an external magnetic field carried nanosize liposomes loaded with a ...

Researchers from the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences (BSIP) have identified magnetofossils - fossil remains of magnetic particles produced by magnetotactic bacteria - in rock varnish ...

Dr. Anca Lungu’s work focused on magnetic force microscopy studies of single crystal ferromagnetic thin films and of the magnetic reversal of single domain particle chains isolated from magnetotactic ...
