Ultra-extensible ribbon-like magnetic microswarm

Ultra-extensible ribbon-like magnetic microswarm

Manipulation of paramagnetic microparticles can be exploited for drug delivery. Here the authors manipulate a swarm of such particles and control its shape with a magnetic field so that it can elongate reversibly, split into smaller swarms and thus be guided through a maze with multiple parallel cha...
