The research group FQM-400: Soft Magnetic Matter is a young, multidisciplinary group made up of physicists, chemists, biologists, biotechnologists, chemical, industrial and telecommunications engineers.
It carries out cutting-edge research in the Singular Laboratory of Advanced Technologies F2N2lab at the UGR and carries out fundamental research on magnetic nanomaterials through laboratory rheomicroscopy experiments and numerical simulations at the particle level by molecular dynamics and finite elements.
He works on applications in the field of nanomedicine, and in particular on cancer treatment and tissue regeneration using non-stationary triaxial magnetic fields with unique ad hoc equipment. With this equipment it is possible to manipulate, in a controlled, predictable and remote manner, the process of self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles in order to achieve improved functional materials with adjustable and customised characteristics through minimally invasive processes.
The group maintains stable collaborations with leading international researchers and renowned multinational companies.

The main lines of research are the following:

- Fabrication of magnetic fluids: ferrofluids and magnetorheological fluids.

- Magneto-rheology and physics of magnetic fluids.

- Rheology and tribology of materials.

- Development of magnetic biomaterials for the regeneration of complex tissues.
