Creating Magnetic Pollen
Primary tabs
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have turned to flowers for inspiration in designing materials with novel properties. The team synthesized magnetic replicas of sunflower pollen grains out of iron oxide. The particles’ magnetic properties and spiky surfaces allow them to adhere to a wide range of surfaces.
Kenneth H. Sandhage, a materials scientist at Georgia Institute of Technology, and his group receive funding from the U.S. Air Force to develop bioinspired materials for sensors and other applications. For more information follow this link.
