One of the factors hindering the biomedical applications of bioinspired magnetic nanochains is the need for alternative synthetic strategies and analytical methods to evaluate chain formation under magnetic fields. Here, the authors present both an environmentally friendly approach to synthesize cobalt-doped ferrite nanoparticles via the hydrothermal conversion of core-shell nanorods, and study their chain arrangements in different directions to the magnetic field.
