Controllable nanoparticles

Description

New technology developed by MIT and several other institutions could make it possible to track the position of nano particles as they move within the body or inside a cell. (Learn more about this technology: http://bit.ly/1rj5AHI)

At the same time, the nano particles could be manipulated precisely by applying a magnetic field to pull them along and control where they go.
