This study evaluated a fractional radiofrequency microneedle system for treating facial atrophic acne scars in Asian subjects over 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up after three monthly sessions. Of 26 completers, the most common self-reported improvement category at 6 months was 26–50% improvement, and scar volume…

This paper proposes and simulates actively-controlled second harmonic generation in a silicon nitride ring resonator. Quasi-phase matching is induced by a periodic static electric field generated by voltage applied to electrodes along the ring. Simulations report a calculated efficiency of -21.67 dB at 60 mW pump…

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 presents a theoretical model of a single ferromagnetic particle with finite coupling between its magnetic moment and particle body in a rotating magnetic field. It describes synchronous and asynchronous motion regimes, including planar motion at low frequencies and a precession regime at high frequencies,…

This physics study analyzes circular wave packets in high Rydberg states produced by applying a pulsed electric field to extreme Stark states. It reports a position-dependent energy gradient that creates a correlation between principal quantum number and spatial coordinate, which appears insensitive to the initial…

This paper presents a theoretical description of nonequilibrium dynamics in a three-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model driven by an external electric field. The authors report direction-dependent damping of Bloch oscillations and the emergence of a long-lived transient prethermalized state over a broad range of field…

This physics study uses analytical calculations and Monte Carlo simulations to determine ground-state structures of monodisperse ferrofluid monolayers under external magnetic fields. It reports structural transitions depending on whether the field is perpendicular or parallel to the monolayer plane, with different…

This paper reports molecular dynamics simulations of polyelectrolyte brushes subjected to external electric fields, focusing on how chain stiffness and salt concentration affect responses. The simulations suggest higher salt concentrations strengthen an induced opposing field from ion redistribution, which resists…

This paper presents a theoretical model of giant phospholipid vesicle deformation in an alternating-current electric field, based on minimizing membrane bending energy and electric-field energy.

This materials study reports that ZnO nanorod polymer hybrids can form liquid-crystalline phases and exhibit orientation switching under an applied AC electric field.
