Genetically engineered cells make their own nanomagnets, providing clear MRI images. Controlling Cell Behavior with Magnets Nanoparticles allow researchers to initiate biochemical events at will. A new technique uses a magnetic field to guide potential therapies to stents in clogged blood vessels. A novel nanolaser could cram more data onto a hard disk. Tiny, Sensitive Magnetic-Field Detectors Arrays of cheap magnetic sensors could detect improvised explosive devices. Hard-Drive Advance Wins the Nobel Prize Findings transformed storage and could pave the way for new devices. Can Magnets Boost Ethanol Production? Brazilian researchers report that exposure to magnetic fields increased ethanol yields by as much as 17 percent. A new solar laser could be instrumental in the quest to use magnesium as a source of energy. Environmentally Friendly Fridges A new magnetic-cooling system could lead to more-energy-efficient refrigerators. Researchers believe that the magneto-electric effect might be key to creating the sensors needed for ultra-high-capacity memory. A new nanoparticle-based tool could provide a faster, easier way to identify infections. MIT Researchers send power two meters with no wires. Nanorods and nanowires could increase memory. Adding noise to telecom lasers could potentially boost bandwidth. A new device clears an obstacle to a type of fusion power plant. [1]
