Electrospun polymer fibers were prepared containing mixtures of different proportions of ferromagnetic and superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The magnetic properties of these fibers were then explored using a superconducting quantum interference device. Mixed superparamagnetic/ferromagnetic fibers were examined for mesoscale magnetic exchange coupling, which was not observed as theoretically predicted. This study includes some of the highest magnetic nanoparticle loadings (up to 50 wt%) and the highest magnetization values (≈ 25 emu/g) in an electrospun fiber to date and also demonstrates a novel mixed superparamagnetic/ferromagnetic system.

Nanoparticles have gained attention as drug delivery vehicles for cancer treatment, but often struggle with poor tumor accumulation and penetration. Single external magnets can enhance magnetic nanoparticle delivery but are limited to superficial tumors due to the rapid decline in the magnetic field strength with distance. We previously showed that a 2-magnet device could extend targeting to greater tissue depths.

Receptor-based biosensors often suffer from slow analyte diffusion, leading to extended assay times. Moreover, existing methods to enhance diffusion can be complex and costly. In response to this challenge, we presented a rapid and cost-effective technique for fabricating concave magnetic-responsive hydrogel discs (CMDs) by straightforward pipetting directly onto microscope glass slides.

Spin-dependent charge tunneling transport of magnetic nanocomposites under alternating current or direct current has revolutionized the understanding of the quantum-mechanical phenomenon in complex granular solids. The tunnel magnetodielectric (TMD) and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) effects are two critical functionalities in this context, where dielectric permittivity and electrical resistance, respectively, change in response to an applied magnetic field due to charge tunneling. However, the structural correlation between TMD and TMR, as well as the mechanisms, remains poorly understood, largely due to the challenges in directly characterizing nanoscale intergranular interactions.

A two-step method for the synthesis of C/Ni/N nanocomposites based on hydrolysis lignin from wood chemical processing waste is proposed. These nanocomposites were found to have a well-developed porous structure with a wide pore size distribution. It was shown that doping hydrolysis lignin with urea-derived nitrogen leads to the appearance of ferromagnetic behavior in the carbon material.

Exosomes are a type of membrane vesicle secreted into the extracellular medium by most cell types. They have a great potential for clinical practice as noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis of various diseases, prognosis, and monitoring of therapy, which stimulates the development of simple methods for isolating exosomes from biological fluids. A novel affine material based on aminosilanized superparamagnetic core‒shell nanoparticles for fast isolation of urinary exosomes is reported.
