Magnetic fluid hyperthermia has the potential to deliver targeted cancer treatment, focusing the energy source selectively localized within the tumor volume. In this collaborative work between Technical University of Darmstadt and partners from Europe as well as the USA we develop iron nitride ε-Fe3N nanoparticles as a potential sustainable material without critical or toxic elements for magnetic fluid hyperthermia and other biomedical applications that would benefit from much increased magnetization compared to conventionally used iron oxide nanoparticles.
