In the system, nanoparticles injected into the brain convert a gentle,
external magnetic field into heat, which triggers heat - sensitive ion channels that have been genetically engineered into neurons.

But a strong
external magnetic field can reduce that resistance by bringing the
magnetic moments
into alignment.
To overcome these issues, Steven J. Jonas, Paul S. Weiss, Xiaobin Xu and colleagues sought to create biocompatible nanospears that can be configured to transport DNA
into cells precisely using an
external magnetic field without either damaging the cells or having to use chemical propellants.
For targeted non-invasive medicine delivery, these nano - swimmers could be coated with medicine, injected
into the bloodstream and roughly steered by
external magnetic fields.
The
external magnetic field drives those particles
into target cells.
