Engineering Future Medicines With Magnetoelectric Nanoparticles: Wirelessly controlled, targeted therapies

Nanomedicine, an emerging field at the intersection of medicine and nanotechnology, has the potential to be revolutionary. The human body is an extremely complex engineering system optimized through many years of evolution. It involves trillions of interconnected cells; intrinsic electric fields at the subcellular level play an important role in these interactions and, ultimately, define fundamental physiological mechanisms.
