Researchers have discovered that tiny circular regions of magnetism can be rapidly enlarged to provide a precise method of measuring the magnetic properties of nanoparticles. The technique provides manufacturers with a practical way to measure and improve the control of the properties of magnetic nanoparticles for a host of medical and environmental applications.
