Researchers identify a new protein—radular teeth matrix protein 1 that regulates the deposition of iron oxide in chiton teeth—an iron-based biomineral with strong magnetic properties. “Mineralization” ...

New research aims to unlock one of the most intriguing processes in nature by looking into the process of magnetotactic bacteria. These organisms develop membrane-encapsulated nano-particles known as ...

A team of scientists have found, for the first time, raised levels of magnetic iron oxides in the part of the brain affected by Alzheimer's Disease. Though the results are based on a small number of ...

A new study from Lancaster University researchers reports on the presence of magnetic nanoparticles in the human brain, possibly stemming from air pollution. The ability of these particles to create ...
