Abstract
Our goal in this research is to fabricate janus micromotors capable of moving in aquious media and being manipulated by an external magnetic field. Such devices were made via attaching magnetic nanoparticles to the surface of magnesium janus motor. The FTIR study proved their existance and physical attraction to the surface of the motors. They were easily navigated through a static magnetic field and janus motors aligned their motion to the direction of magnetic field. The anisotropic geometry of janus micromotors were verified through scaning electron microscope and elemental analysis. Biocompatibility of magnetised janus motors were examined through mtt assay and it was shown that the...
