Microarrays are widely used in high-throughput analysis of DNA, protein, and small molecules. However, the majority of microarray assays need improved assay speed and sensitivity due to the slow molecular diffusion from bulk solutions to probe surfaces. Here, a new class of magnetic nanomixers in DN...
