Javier Alonso Masa, winner of one of the 2014 MMM Best Poster Awards

Javier Alonso Masa has been awarded with the 2014 MMM Best Poster Award Winner of  the session: FeCo nanowires for enhanced magnetic hyperthermia. "Magnetic hyperthermia mediated by magnetic nanoparticles is one of the most promising techniques for cancer treatment. By injecting nanoparticles inside the tumor area and applying an external ac magnetic field, one can make the nanoparticles heat up, and destroy the cancer cells in a localized way.

Bioinspired Materials

The most complex hierarchically organized chemical structures (e.g., from the nanoworld of proteins to the macroscopic structures of oyster shells, bone and enamel, among others) can be found in nature. This is why the imitation of Nature has called the attention of numerous research groups during the last years.
