Why nano-magnets?
Magnets that are one thousand times smaller than a human hair are all around, doing important jobs for us. I will aim to surprise you with some of the places they hide, and some of the cutting-edge research we are doing at UCCS. From the first desktop computer, to the future of medicine, everyone should care about these tiny rusty balls.
