Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Ferromagnetic nanowires (NWs) encapsulated by a fine graphitic coating form vectors for nanorobotic drug delivery, as reported <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">on page 823</ext-link> by Salvador Pané and co‐workers. The coating protects the NWs from degradation, reduces the possibility of toxicity from the NWs, and provides a platform for functionalization with therapeutic molecules. Fe NWs can be wirelessly manipulated with magnetic fields and field gradients. The nanorobots are functionalized with the model drug rhodamine B and are manipulated in a controlled way. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1ts4wxqv" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
