Description
Shashwat Sharma and co-authors reviewed in 2026 a heat-based way to kill drug-proof germs. Tiny iron oxide grains can be steered by magnets, coated to fit a task, and heated from afar by a fast-flipping magnetic field. Germs that shrug off drugs, and the slime layers they build, are a growing threat. Heat from the grains could attack them where drugs fail.
The review covers how the grains are made, how their size and coat set their heat output, and how heat harms germs. Heat can tear cell walls, break up slime layers, help drugs seep in, and spark toxic oxygen forms. The authors say wide clinic use still waits on even dosing, shared test rules, and more safety checks.
