Nutrient agar medium was exposed in 0.085-0.092 T static magnetic fields for 12 h. Then we densities the optical densities at lamda = 600 (OD600) of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis in different culturing stage. The results were compared with those of control group in the normal geomagnetic field. The OD600 values of experimental groups of these three kinds of aerobes were significantly higher than those of control groups from 3h to 9h. However, after 11 h, there was no remarkable difference regarding the OD600 values between the two groups. The dissolved oxygen content of nutrient agar medium was determined by microtitration. The dissolved oxygen of nutrient agar medium under static magnetic for 12h increased 15% in average and there was significant difference when compared with the control. The results showed that the ferro-magnetic fields increased the dissolved oxygen content of nutrient agar medium significantly. These findings suggest that the effects of static magnetic fields on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis are related to the dissolved oxygen.

Aims: Cardiac tumors are aggressive and asymptomatic in early stages, causing late diagnosis and locoregional metastasis. Currently, the standard of care uses gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI, and the associated hypersensitivity reactions are a significant concern, such as gadolinium deposition disease. In addition, the proximity of cardiac lesions closer to vital structures complicates surgical interventions.

We reveal contrasting behaviors in molecular motion between the two materials, including the identification of resonance-enhanced dynamic features in elastomers. We present a depth-resolved analysis of molecular dynamics in semicrystalline polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and fully amorphous fluorinated elastomer (SIFEL) films using static-gradient solid-state F NMR imaging. By measuring spin-lattice relaxation rates ( ) at multiple frequencies and evaluating the corresponding spectral density functions, we reveal distinct dynamic behaviors between the two materials.

The magnetic field is a continuously present environmental factor. It has been found that many species, including plants, can sense and utilise it. However, the effects of the magnetic field on plants and its potential utilisation, especially in crops, have been little explored.

We examine the magnetic excitations of an Anderson lattice model with a Vshaped pseudogap arising from nodal hybridization. The model produces a V-shaped pseudogap in the electronic density of states near the Fermi energy. It lies close to an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point and features lowdimensional Fermi surfaces, aligning with experimental observations of CeNiSn.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) carry intact tumor molecular information, making them invaluable for personalized cancer monitoring. However, conventional capture methods, relying on passive diffusion, suffer from low efficiency due to insufficient collision frequency, severely limiting clinical utility. Herein, a magnetic micromotor-functionalized DNA-array hunter (MMDA hunter) is developed by integrating enzyme-propelled micromotors, magnetic nanoparticles, and nucleic acid aptamers into distinct functional partitions of a DNA tile self-assembly structure.
