characteristics of magnetic thin-film-based fabrication techniques. While defining the
application space where these particles will be the most effective has proved challenging, general insights may be gained by their use since their properties may be
conveniently engineered. A thorough exploration of the available existing and potential future applications with regard to these types of particles will be a worthwhile
undertaking to best understand where they may be most effectively deployed.
Lithographically defined particles represent systems where the magnetic properties can be extremely accurately tuned but are limited in the volume that they can
be fabricated. Colloidal synthesis is on the other end of the spectrum and offers an
approach for high volume fabrication of magnetic nanoparticles but is somewhat
limited in the precision engineering of the magnetic properties of the particles. As
both these techniques evolve further the gap between them is likely to be bridged
allowing a broader range of magnetic micro- and nanoparticles that will be exciting
for the biomedical field.
Magnetic nanoparticles cover a wide range of applications in the biomedical
space, ranging from in vivo imaging and therapy to ex vivo diagnostics. Nanoparticle
synthesis and fabrication has continually evolved and opened new areas where these
systems offer benefit and insight. It is expected that this community will continue to
make strong contributions towards solving the varied and exciting challenges offered
by the biomedical space.
