Magnetite Production
Our side project is to synthesize superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles in E Coli.
Nano-manipulation of magnetite particles, which can lead to a plethora of advances, especially in research technology and biomedical technology.
Understanding and utilization of magnetotaxis and/or magnetoception in bacteria.
Possible production and use of ferrofluid, a paramagnetic or superparamagnetic fluid.
Ability to create uniform nanoparticles will further nanotechnology. (biotech is nanotech that works)
