  • Magnetic Particle Actuation
    Publication number: 20240157167
    Abstract: Magnetic particle actuating systems may include a magnet system configured to generate a magnetic field that includes a field-free region. A corresponding control system can be configured to control the magnet system to create a field-free region at least partially matching a target region. An excitation system can be configured to generate an excitation field to cause actuation of magnetic nanoparticles in an actuation region.
