Article Abstract
Utilizing the Stern-Gerlach effect, magnetic lenses are used to focus atom clouds, reducing their dimensions, and boosting the central cloud density. In this research, a theoretical model based on nonlinear Zeeman splitting in high-intensity magnetic fields is established to explore the nonlinear focusing of a tightly focused magnetic lens. The research concentrates on the motion and focusing of Rb atoms in various Zeeman substates within an atom fountain under pulsed magnetic fields and establishes a correlation between the field curvature and the effective focal length. The nonlinear model has been validated in the experiment conducted in the fountain. Atoms in different Zeeman substates were selectively focused by the magnetic lens which has applications in precise manipulation of atoms including collimation, concentration, and spatial filtering. A spatial filter based on this method has been deployed in the phase-shear atomic interferometer to prepare an atom cloud in a pure Zeeman substate.

Single crystal x-ray diffraction measurements have been carried out on epsilon oxygen up to 30 GPa to examine the behavior of the constituent (O_{2})_{4} units. An isostructural phase transition is evidenced by lattice parameter and intracluster (O_{8}) distance discontinuities and clear changes in the equation of state at 18.1±0.

Seeds of Sophora japonica in Nanjing during the recommended period typically exhibit permeable seed coats. It is imperative to comprehend the water absorption characteristics of the permeable seeds, as water uptake represents a critical step in seed germination. This study employed an integrated approach combining blocking experiments, scanning electron microscopy, staining tests, and magnetic resonance imaging to investigate water entry sites and movement patterns in permeable seeds.

HMGB1, a multitasking protein, is scrutinized here through the lens of the 'fuzzy interactions' driven by its intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs). Although the multiple intracellular and extracellular functions of this protein have been studied for decades, viewing HMGB1 as fuzzy and dynamic provides a novel perspective. Recent breakthroughs emphasize the crucial role of its IDRs, especially the acidic C-terminal tail, in mediating dynamic multivalent interactions.

Multifunctional magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles (MP-NPs) are attracting increasing interest for biomedical applications due to their dual magnetic and optical properties. However, existing synthesis protocols for MP-NPs could be limited by harsh conditions or lengthy, complex procedures. These limitations can hinder the development of nanosystems that work effectively in biological dispersion.

Undesired scalar and dipolar couplings are two major interactions that complicate structural and dynamic studies in solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Recent developments in site-specific isotopic labeling technologies have gone a long way toward alleviating these problems. While some nuclei have intrinsic properties that make them suitable for specific NMR experiments, these same properties render them inefficient in other experiments.
