DESCRIPTION
Microscopic magnetic probes that change shape in response to their environment may greatly enhance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, producing the probes, which are still experimental and have not yet been used in humans, has required access to a clean room and expertise in nanofabrication, limiting their widespread use.
