Implantable, Metal-Free Magnet Enables Deep Wireless Sensing

Scientists in the U.S. and China developed a biocompatible, metal-free magnetic material that can be implanted for wireless monitoring. The work explains how heating carbon nitride rearranges atoms to produce magnetism via strengthened coupling of unpaired electrons.
