This paper presents a theoretical model of a single ferromagnetic particle with finite coupling between its magnetic moment and particle body in a rotating magnetic field. It describes synchronous and asynchronous motion regimes, including planar motion at low frequencies and a precession regime at high frequencies,…

This animal study tested whether pre-exposure to microwave radiation from a GSM mobile phone simulator could induce a radioadaptive response to a subsequent lethal whole-body gamma dose. In mice, pre-exposure to microwave radiation, low dose rate gamma radiation, or both was associated with significantly different…

This engineering simulation study models colloidal particle transport and deposition in a membrane filtration channel at a particle volume fraction of 10%. The model couples a dynamically updating crossflow velocity field with particle-particle and particle-membrane interaction potentials (electrostatic double layer…

This in vitro experimental study examined how an AC electric field influences actin filament (F-actin) movement on a myosin-coated substrate. The authors report that the field induces electro-orientation torque that aligns movement perpendicular toward electrode edges, with alignment increasing with field strength.…

This physics study analyzes circular wave packets in high Rydberg states produced by applying a pulsed electric field to extreme Stark states. It reports a position-dependent energy gradient that creates a correlation between principal quantum number and spatial coordinate, which appears insensitive to the initial…

This engineering materials study reports fabrication and characterization of nanocomposite dielectrics in a PbO-BaO-Na2O-Nb2O5-SiO2 glass-ceramic system. X-ray diffraction and microstructural observations describe temperature-dependent phase formation with nanometer-sized crystallites dispersed in a glass matrix. The…

This engineering study investigates a plasmonic nanostructure composed of a spherical metallic nanoshell with a small metallic nanoparticle (“nanoknob”) on its surface. It reports tunable plasmon resonance behavior driven by nanoshell properties and localized/enhanced electromagnetic fields near the nanoknob under…

This paper presents a theoretical description of nonequilibrium dynamics in a three-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model driven by an external electric field. The authors report direction-dependent damping of Bloch oscillations and the emergence of a long-lived transient prethermalized state over a broad range of field…

This study examines how spatial inhomogeneity affects a two-dimensional noncentrosymmetric superconductor in an in-plane magnetic field, motivated by LaAlO3-SrTiO3 interfaces. The authors report that spatial variation of Rashba spin-orbit coupling can generate local magnetic flux patterns through a field-induced…

This engineering study evaluated long-term encapsulation and packaging reliability of a fully wireless 100-channel Utah Slant Electrode Array system in vitro. The device was soaked in PBS for over 12 months while being wirelessly powered/configured at 2.765 MHz and transmitting an FSK-modulated 900 MHz RF signal. The…

This in vitro FTIR study examined human haemoglobin aqueous solutions exposed to a 200 mT static magnetic field for 3 and 7 hours, with and without the disaccharides sucrose and trehalose. The authors report spectral changes (amide A decrease and reduced CH(3) stretching) in haemoglobin dissolved in bi-distilled…

This study evaluated mobile phone use as a tool to improve cancer care follow-up and communication in a low-resource Nigerian setting. Among 1176 oncology patients, sustained follow-up at 24 months was reported as much higher in those receiving the phone intervention than in those who did not. Patients also reported…

This engineering/materials study describes a template-free solution-phase method to synthesize well-aligned nickel nanochains under applied magnetic fields. The authors report that nanochain size and morphology can be tuned by reaction temperature and magnetic field conditions, and explain alignment via magnetic…

This engineering study describes an experimental setup using a small electret condenser microphone connected to a notebook/PC to detect extremely low frequency signals. Using a small air cell made from a drilled DVD plate with a speaker and microphone on opposite sides, the microphone captured signals in the 0.5–20…

This engineering-focused mouse fMRI study evaluated a 400-MHz cryogenic RF probe (CryoProbe) versus a conventional room-temperature surface coil during electrical forepaw stimulation. The CryoProbe increased image SNR and temporal SNR and reduced temporal noise compared with the room-temperature coil. The authors…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low-frequency magnetic fields affect chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in pellet culture. Cells exposed for 3 weeks to a homogeneous sinusoidal 5 mT magnetic field showed increased collagen type II expression (significant at passage 6) and…

This methods paper addresses how B0 (main field) and B1 (transmit field) inhomogeneities can bias SPGR and bSSFP steady-state MRI signals used for multicomponent T1/T2 relaxometry and myelin water analysis. It describes using DESPOT1-HIFI to calibrate flip angles and adding a B0-related parameter with multiple…

This modeling study applies uniform electric fields parallel and normal to 180° ferroelectric domain walls in PbTiO3 and computes equilibrium structures using anharmonic lattice statics. The authors report that electric fields can substantially increase domain wall thickness and identify a critical field Ec above…

This paper presents a theoretical model of giant phospholipid vesicle deformation in an alternating-current electric field, based on minimizing membrane bending energy and electric-field energy. The model treats the membrane and surrounding aqueous media as leaky dielectrics and reports good quantitative agreement…

This materials study reports that ZnO nanorod polymer hybrids can form liquid-crystalline phases and exhibit orientation switching under an applied AC electric field. The orientation reportedly changes from planar to homeotropic, analogous to switching in low-molecular liquid crystals. Dielectric measurements and…
