Unveiling the New Scanning Probe Microscope: Exploring Nanomagnetism and its Implications for Medical Research

The video discusses a new scanning probe microscope funded by the EU, capable of rendering images at the nanometre scale. It is used to study tiny magnetic particles, revealing unique properties at small scales. Researchers create multi-layered particles called nano onions, which have potential applications in magnetic storage and medical research, including tumor tracking and destruction using nanoparticles.
