Here, the authors present a pseudo-diamagnetophoresis mattertronic approach for programmable manipulation of label-free cells. Immersed in biocompatible ferrofluids, single cells are moved along linear negative micromagnetic patterns, switched at eclipse diode patterns and stored in potential wells.
