This in vitro study reports that a static magnetic field (SMF) combined with paramagnetic calcium-polypyrrole nanoparticles (Ca-PPy) markedly increases bactericidal activity against E. coli and S. aureus. The authors attribute the enhanced killing to increased reactive oxygen species generation and associated…

This paper describes a protocol for a systematic map of evidence on how food crops and model plants respond to exposure to static magnetic fields and non-ionizing electromagnetic fields. The authors cite reports of potential agronomic benefits but also inconsistent protocols and contradictory outcomes, and they…

This in vitro study examined how a 20 mT static magnetic field and a 20 mT 50 Hz electromagnetic field affect mesenchymal stem cells under conditions involving ROS and acidic pH. The authors report increased ROS and antioxidant-response markers (Nrf2, SOD2, GST) across SMF, EMF, and combined exposures, with…

This in vitro study tested whether a static magnetic field (SMF) could enhance the effects of cisplatin or adriamycin in Hepa1-6 tumor cells. The abstract reports that SMF combined with either drug increased growth inhibition and was associated with cell-cycle arrest, increased DNA damage, and more severe membrane…

This study evaluated gamma radiation and static magnetic field treatments on soybean seeds stored for six months and then subjected to accelerated ageing. The authors report that certain gamma doses (3–5 kGy) and magnetic field strengths (100–200 mT) helped maintain seed protein/oil characteristics and antioxidant…

This engineering paper models the driving system of a centrifugal blood pump for extracorporeal circulation, focusing on disc magnetic coupling. It uses a three-dimensional static magnetic field edge element method in Ansys to numerically calculate magnetic fields and analyze how coupling parameters relate to…

This in vitro study exposed newborn rat calvarial osteoblasts to a 3.9 mT static magnetic field for varying durations (0–4 hours). The authors report increased cell proliferation and markers of osteoblast differentiation and mineralization versus control, including higher ALP activity, calcium content, and…

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 investigated how exposure to a static magnetic field affects electricity production in Shewanella-inoculated microbial fuel cells across different reactor configurations. A 100 mT field was reported to increase maximum voltage and the effect was described as immediate and reversible, with possible adverse…

This critical review summarizes human research on static magnetic field (SMF) therapy delivered by permanent magnets attached to the skin and evaluates how well studies report SMF dosage and treatment parameters. Across 56 included studies, many did not report essential SMF characteristics (e.g., magnet dimensions,…
