Applied Nanomagnetics

IMDEA Nanoscience's In silico Electromagnetic Testing Laboratory focuses on the modeling and simulation of the exposure of living beings to sources of low/medium frequency electromagnetic fields. The combination of powerful computing resources allows the realisation of calculations and the design of models that recreate real situations. The use of animal and human phantoms that include a multitude of physical properties of each type of tissue for a wide range of frequencies. Through this methodology, new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques (image by magnetic particles, hyperthermia, deep brain stimulation, etc.) that involve the use of sources of electromagnetic fields, or make predictions about improvements in them can be tested. Also within the clinical environment, one can test the safety of exposing patients with active and passive implants to these fields. The in silico Electromagnetic Testing Laboratory can also conduct exposure studies to wireless charging systems. In future updates of the services, it is foreseen to incorporate technical means that allow the inclusion of high frequency fields, which will allow to study exposures to wireless networks (mobile, wide area, etc.) or overlaps of fields of different nature (as occurs in the magnetic resonance).
