From that point we can begin to ponder what other "open source" modifications / applications we can use the magnetic nano particles in. Also, creating gold nano particles via steric stabilization with acid and thiols is a cheap and very low cost way to make gold nano particles. Thiols of course are a good mechanism for biological functionalization...

Is yes, is there any benefit? We have alot of ‘black sand’ (mostly Magnetite) in my area can you use this instead of rust? Is yes, is there any benefit?

Would the crystals move in the suspension? And, if they move, and if they could be made to move "sufficiently fast", what happens at the nanometer scale -- would the crystals have some funky interactions with molecules in suspension?
