Magnets could be a tool for directing stem cells' healing powers to treat conditions such as heart disease or vascular disease. By feeding stem cells tiny particles made of iron oxide, scientists at ...

For the first time, researchers measured the magnetic pull inside a single bacterium, turning a biological mystery into hard ...

Researchers in Japan have made the first observations of biological magnetoreception - live, unaltered cells responding to a magnetic field in real time. This discovery is a crucial step in ...

In the previous edition of Quantum, you read about using magnetism to help refrigeration or cooling. So, then, can the heating properties of magnetism be far behind? Magnetic hyperthermia — generating ...

Researchers infused antibody-studded iron nanoparticles into the bloodstream to treat heart attack damage. The combined nanoparticle enabled precise localization of the body’s own stem cells to the ...
