1. A reaction method, comprising:
- receiving an electromagnetic control signal from a remote control signal source with a magnetically or electrically responsive control element including a magnetically or electrically active material;
in response to the received electromagnetic control signal, modifying a reaction condition of a reaction occurring at a reaction region of a reaction device located in a body of an organism by modifying the area of the reaction region; and
releasing a product of the reaction into the body of the organism.
