Single-sized magnetic nanoparticles with promising medicinal applications

17 July 2020

Our PhD student Julien Mahin was mentioned in the CEB department news. “It’s challenging because what you're trying to do is control material formation on a very, very small scale – a few nanometres,” says Mahin. “What's important for biomedical applications is that you know exactly what you're putting in your body. When...
