Exceptional advances in the control of material properties has been achieved, through careful manipulation of geometry on nano- and sub-nanometre length scales, in magnetoelectronics and nanomagnetism.1 Advanced techniques now allow for the creation of structures patterned on sub-micron length scales in three dimensions. New phenomena has been discovered in patterned magnets that can be strongly controlled by ion bombardment, multilayering, and lithographic patterning.

Nanogels are extremely versatile and hydrophilic materials that have a wide range of potential applications within the medical field. Research in this area has found that nanogels are particularly useful as therapeutic drug carriers and can also enhance medical diagnostics when used as carriers for novel imaging probes and contrast agents.
