How do magnetic nanotubes interact?
Magnetic nanotubes could be used in imaging and drug delivery, but knowing how these tubes interact with each other is crucial if such applications are to see the light of day. Now, researchers in Chile and Brazil have calculated the magnetostatic interaction between nanotubes using a simple mathematical expression – a tool that could also help tailor barcode-type arrays for use in biological separation and transport.
