This paper reviews the possibilities offered by the advent of nanotechnology for regulating the interaction between electromagnetic fields and bio-systems with unprecedented flexibility and specificity. In particular, we discuss how the exploitation of magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic fields can lead to significant advances in clinical and diagnostic applications, and to the opening of a completely new scenario: the true remote control of nanomachines and biological systems.

Abstract
This paper reviews the possibilities offered by the advent of nanotechnology for regulating the interaction between electromagnetic fields and bio-systems with unprecedented flexibility and specificity. In particular, we discuss how the exploitation of magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic fields can lead to significant advances in clinical and diagnostic applications, and to the opening of a completely new scenario: the true remote control of nanomachines and biological systems.File in questo prodotto:
