The rapid, single-stage, flame-spheroidisation process, as applied to varying FeO:CaCO powder combinations, provides for the rapid production of a mixture of dense and porous ferromagnetic microspheres with homogeneous composition, high levels of interconnected porosity and microsphere size control. This study describes the production of dense (35-80 µm) and highly porous (125-180 µm) CaFeO ferromagnetic microspheres. Correlated backscattered electron imaging and mineral liberation analysis investigations provide insight into the microsphere formation mechanisms, as a function of FeO/porogen mass ratios and gas flow settings. Optimised conditions for the processing of highly homogeneous CaFeO porous and dense microspheres are identified. Induction heating studies of the materials produced delivered a controlled temperature increase to 43.7 °C, indicating that these flame-spheroidised CaFeO ferromagnetic microspheres could be highly promising candidates for magnetic induced hyperthermia and other biomedical applications.

Magnetic-fluorescent microbeads have been widely used in the multiplex detection of biological molecules. The traditional method relies on flow cytometry to decode and analyze the microbeads. Alternative strategies that employ immobilized microbeads on a plane and involve fluorescence imaging to analyze the microbeads have been proposed.

Magnetic field-directed colloidal interactions offer facile tools for assembly of structures that range from linear chains to multidimensional hierarchical architectures. While the field-driven assembly of colloidal particles has commonly been investigated in unbounded media, a knowledge gap remains concerning such assembly in confined microenvironments. Here, we investigate how confinement of ferromagnetic nanoparticles in microspheres directs their magnetic assembly into hierarchical architectures.

There is a current gap in sample preparation techniques integrating the separation of microplastics according to their different material types and particle sizes. We describe herein the Bidimensional Dynamic Magnetic Levitation (2D-MagLev) technique, enabling the resolution of mixtures of microplastics sorting them by plastic type and particle size. Separations are carried out in a bespoke flow cell sandwiched between two ring magnets and connected to programmable pumps for flow control.

Integrating ferromagnetism (FM) and photoluminescence (PL) into one particular nanostructure as biological probe plays an irreplaceable role in accurate clinical diagnosis combining magnetic resonance and photoluminescence imaging technology. However, magnetic emergence generally needs a spin polarization at Fermi level to display a half-metallic electronic feature, which is not beneficial for preserving radiation recombination ability of photo-excited electron-hole carriers. To overcome this intrinsic difficulty, we propose a feasible atomic-hybridization strategy to anchor carbon quantum dots (CQDs) onto ZnO microsphere surface via breakage of C=O bonds at CQDs and subsequent Zn-3d and C-2p orbital hybridization, which not only ensures the carrier recombination but also leads to a room-temperature magnetism.
