This in vitro study examined how an externally applied electric field influences the self-assembly of oppositely charged molecules in water into an ordered membrane. The authors report that electric fields changed the kinetics of membrane formation and altered membrane thickness, nanofiber growth orientation, and…

This paper reports a MAXWELL 3D simulation study of electric field distribution in a tissue/tumor model relevant to electrical-pulse-mediated drug delivery. The authors report lower electric field strength in tumor tissue compared with normal cells. They interpret this as potentially increasing tumor susceptibility…

This experimental and modeling study examined pulsed electric field (PEF) permeabilization in several fruit and vegetable tissues at 293 K using 1000 μs pulses and field strengths of 400 and 1000 V·cm(-1). While electroporation theory predicts greater damage in tissues with larger cells, the authors report this…

This study evaluated MRI safety parameters for three commercial veterinary RFID microchips at 1 T, assessing movement forces, heating, artifacts, and device function. Translation and torque were reported to be larger than expected from normal activity, but no significant heating was observed and microchip function…

This experimental study examined how pulsed electric field (PEF) processing parameters affect cell membrane rupture in onion tissue disks, using ion leakage as the primary integrity measure. Disintegration efficiency increased with field strength up to 500 V/cm and varied with pulse width, pulse number, and…

This experimental study examined how pulsed electric fields affect onion tissue integrity and texture across different field strengths and pulse counts. It reports distinct critical field strengths for plasma membrane versus tonoplast membrane breakdown, with higher thresholds needed for tonoplast disruption. Effects…

A theoretical analysis is presented of electron states in a two-dimensional plane bound to an off-plane donor impurity under a magnetic field. The authors calculate energy levels (ground and first three excited states) variationally and report binding energies and mean orbital radii as functions of donor position and…

This theoretical condensed-matter study examines how an electric field affects the electronic spectrum and localization in quasiperiodic chains modeled with Harper and Fibonacci potentials. It reports localized ladder spectra under strong fields and smoothing with linearly decreasing gaps under weak fields. When…

This theoretical study uses a nonequilibrium Green function approach to analyze current-induced spin polarization in a two-dimensional heavy-hole system with cubic Rashba spin-orbit coupling under in-plane electric and magnetic fields. The authors report monotonic decreases in longitudinal conductivity with…

This laboratory/engineering study examined electric-field-induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions using WAXS, SEM, rheometry, and electrical measurements. Particle orientation was quantified via an orientational order parameter derived from diffraction peak azimuthal changes, and chain versus column formation was…

This critical review summarizes human research on static magnetic field (SMF) therapy delivered by permanent magnets attached to the skin and evaluates how well studies report SMF dosage and treatment parameters. Across 56 included studies, many did not report essential SMF characteristics (e.g., magnet dimensions,…

This paper describes a modified approach for assessing occupational EMF exposure during work on radio and television towers and masts, where exposure can be high and tasks/routes are not fixed. The method calculates maximum admissible dwell time at different mast levels while incorporating the EMF dose accumulated…

This paper models extravascular MRI signal decay (R2/R2*) as a function of blood oxygenation, vessel geometry, and magnetic field strength up to 9.4 T using Monte Carlo diffusion simulations. It reports different vessel-size dependencies for Hahn-spin-echo versus gradient-recalled-echo relaxation across field…
