Article Abstract

Based on two Bateman conjugate functions, a class of finite-energy spatiotemporally localized null electromagnetic fields in vacuum have been constructed. These wavepackets share with the basic Hopfion, as well as higher-order Hopf-Ranada solutions, topological properties dealing with linked and knotted electromagnetic field lines. Contrary to the Hopf-Ranada solutions, however, they are unidirectional and devoid of energy backflow, the latter being a counterintuitive phenomenon whereby, even for forward-propagating plane wave components, the energy locally propagates backward. Conservation laws for electromagnetic chirality and helicity for these novel wavepackets have been studied.

Animal studies indicating an association of exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) and noise with reproductive dysfunctions. Nonetheless, the potential impacts of exposure to these hazardous agents on the human prostate gland remain unidentified. To assess the relationship between co-exposure to ELF-EMF and noise and the levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a longitudinal study was conducted over eight years among workers at a thermal power station from 2016 to 2024.

The biophysical properties of single cells are crucial for understanding cellular function and behavior in biology and medicine. However, precise manipulation of cells in 3-D microfluidic environments remains challenging, particularly for heterogeneous populations. Here, we present "Electro-LEV," a unique platform integrating electromagnetic and magnetic levitation principles for dynamic 3-D control of cell position during separation.

The offshore renewable energy industry is expanding rapidly due to decarbonisation commitments and need for energy security. This will change the marine environment in ways that are not fully understood, including more subsea power cables in the sea. Movement of electricity through these cables generates an electromagnetic field (EMF), which might affect marine species.

We present two newly constructed experimental setups-REBEL (Resonant Excitation of Beams with Electromagnetic fields and Lasers) and STRIPE (Stopping and Trapping of Radioactive Isotopes for Precision Experiments)-integrated into a single offline beamline at KU Leuven. REBEL is designed for collinear laser spectroscopy of ion bunches, including isobaric separation with a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer, enabling high-sensitivity measurements of mass-selected fast-ion beams. In contrast, STRIPE focuses on the deceleration, trapping, and laser cooling of ions in a segmented linear Paul trap, optimized for long interrogation times and precision spectroscopy.
