Magnetic nanodiscs can be activated by an external magnetic field, providing a research tool for studying neural responses.
A scanning electron microscope image of cultured neural cells shows the team’s newly developed nanodiscs (colored area) arrayed along the cell surface, where they can exert enough force to trigger a response.
