Abstract

The present invention relates to biological sensors. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of remotely driven nonlinear rotation of particles (e.g., magnetic particles) for detection of cells such as microorganisms (e.g., bacteria and viruses). The present invention further relates to the use of remotely driven nonlinear rotation of particles for measurement of physical properties of a solution (e.g., viscosity).
