This laboratory study investigates various ionic liquids using an electrophoresis of a charged droplet method in a dielectric liquid under an applied electric field. While charged droplets typically bounce between electrodes, the authors report that some ionic liquids exhibit a retreating behavior. They interpret…

This engineering/physical chemistry study quantified interfacial electric fields in dye-sensitized solar cells using a newly described electroabsorption signature. Reported field strengths depended on the electrolyte cation (higher for divalent cations) and were linked to TiO2(e−) + I3− charge recombination kinetics…

This study develops and tests a theoretical model of how HeLa cells aggregate when exposed to a uniform AC electric field. Model-derived aggregation times and predicted string-length growth rates matched numerical simulation, and experiments observed substantial clustering in the chamber. The work is framed as…

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 paper presents a two-compartment computational model of CA3 pyramidal neurons to investigate how extracellular electric fields influence neuronal behavior via ephaptic transmission. The model is matched to subthreshold experimental responses at rest and used to analyze how DC and sinusoidal fields affect…

This study tested noninvasive 13.56 MHz radiofrequency electric fields as a treatment adjunct for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in cell lines and mouse xenograft models. The authors report RF exposure caused cytotoxicity in PDAC cells via autophagy (not apoptosis) and that normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells…

This paper proposes a reversible approach to tune Mie scattering resonances in random media using external low induction magnetic fields. The experimental demonstration uses ultrasound in emulsions of fluorinated ferrofluid droplets dispersed in a Bingham fluid. Magnetic-field-induced droplet deformation is reported…

This experimental study measured the electric field inside a plasma channel formed during a high-pressure nanosecond discharge in hydrogen using coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering. The authors report root-mean-square electric field intensities up to 30 kV/cm in the plasma channel. Polarization measurements…

This paper analyzes compressible Hall magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with an external strong guide magnetic field using signed measure analysis. In simulations varying ion skin depth to modulate the Hall term, increasing the Hall term is reported to reduce the fractal dimension of current and vorticity sheets. The…

This laboratory study examined Rayleigh-Bénard convection in liquid gallium under varying strengths of a uniform imposed horizontal magnetic field. Using ultrasonic velocity profiling and temperature monitoring, the authors mapped a regime diagram across Ra and Q and identified five flow regimes. The results describe…

This paper theoretically investigates magnetic-field-induced phenomena in bent-core nematic liquid crystals, focusing on how molecular biaxiality modifies the response. Using molecular field and Landau theory, it reproduces reported experimental trends such as an enhanced Cotton-Mouton effect and an increase in the…

This paper investigates, in an interneuronal network model, how a steady DC electric field induced by magnetic stimulation affects network coherence and synchronization. The authors report that coherence can exhibit a peak or plateau across a defined range of induced field values. Effects varied by network topology…

This in vitro experimental study examined how an AC electric field influences actin filament (F-actin) movement on a myosin-coated substrate. The authors report that the field induces electro-orientation torque that aligns movement perpendicular toward electrode edges, with alignment increasing with field strength.…

This in vitro study examines RF-induced heat production in citrate-capped gold nanoparticle suspensions while minimizing confounding Joule heating from ionic buffers. It reports size-dependent heating detectable only for ≤10 nm particles, with heating scaling with concentration and surface area and being attenuated…

This animal experiment assessed integral and pulsed bioelectric activity across rabbit brain regions during exposure to low-intensity magnetic and electromagnetic fields. The authors report that brain-region participation in CNS reactions varied across exposure parameters and conditions and depended strongly on…

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…
