Iron oxide nanoflowers can be synthesized through a polyol route firstly introduced almost 2 decades ago by Caruntu et al, presenting multi-core morphology, several grains (around 10 nm) being attached together (and obviously sintered). These IONFs present outstanding properties for magnetic field hyperthermia, which is considered as promising therapy against cancer. (319 characters)
