Scientists create flexible biocompatible cilia that can be
controlled by a magnet

9th February 2021by admin0

Researchers at the University of Campinas’s Chemistry
Institute (IQ-UNICAMP) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, have
developed a template-free technique to fabricate cilia of different
sizes that mimic biological functions and have multiple
applications, from directing fluids in microchannels to loading
material into a cell, for example. The highly flexible cilia are
based on polymer-coated iron oxide nanoparticles, and their motion
can be controlled by a magnet.

    The New Fusion technology is based on a phenomenon called triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) which is a process in which two triplet excitons annihilate and produce a higher energy singlet exciton.
