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 ex vivo study tested whether different magnetic-field modalities change transdermal delivery of naproxen through pigskin. Rotating magnetic fields (RMF) at 50 Hz produced the greatest increase in permeation metrics versus a no-EMF control, while negatively polarized static fields reduced permeation.…

This in vitro study tested whether daily exposure to a 10 mT ELF electromagnetic field, combined with miR-16 and miR-451 transfection, could enhance trans-differentiation of human dermal fibroblasts toward erythroid-like progenitors. The authors report increased erythroid-like differentiation with ELF-EMF exposure,…

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 compared commonly used pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) exposures with electromagnetic fields tuned to satisfy the ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) condition for calcium. After 3 weeks, the calcium ICR condition was associated with increased glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen synthesis and…

This materials study examined how growth rate and an external magnetic field affect microstructure and properties in directionally solidified Ag-Cu eutectic alloys. The lamellar spacing followed the Jackson-Hunt model with a reported constant of 5.8 µm³/s. Increasing magnetic field tilted eutectic growth and…

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 animal study reports that combined static (42 μT) and very weak alternating (250 nT) magnetic fields can modulate the duration of metamorphosis in Tenebrio molitor pupae depending on the alternating-field frequency. A shorter pupal stage was reported at 4.4 Hz, an inhibiting effect at 32.2 Hz, and no noticeable…

The paper reviews and analyzes mechanisms for resonance action of extremely weak alternating magnetic fields (40 nT) combined with weak static fields (40 μT), tuned to cyclotron frequencies. It references prior reports of narrow resonant peaks in electrical conductivity of aqueous solutions and biomedical effects in…

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 experimental study investigated evaporation of pure water placed at different simulated gravity positions within a superconducting magnet producing a large gradient magnetic field. Water evaporation was reported to be faster in the magnetic field than without the field, and the amount evaporated varied by…

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 condensed-matter physics study examined how high magnetic fields and pressure affect magnetization, transport, and thermodynamic properties of the intermediate-valence compound YbPd. The authors report that the Yb valence state and two first-order transitions are stable up to 55 T, while increasing pressure…
