Location-broadcasting chips
The location of microdevices in the body of anaesthetized mice can be retrieved with sub-millimetre precision by adopting principles from nuclear magnetic resonance.

The location of microdevices in the body of anaesthetized mice can be retrieved with sub-millimetre precision by adopting principles from nuclear magnetic resonance.
Comments
The cover illustrates the concept of implantable microdevices that broadcast their location when in a magnetic-field gradient by emitting a magnetic-field-dependent radiofrequency signal.
