Electrical current pulses can be used to manipulate magnetization efficiently via spin-orbit torques. Pulse durations as short as a few picoseconds have been used to switch the magnetization of ferromagnetic films, reaching the terahertz regime. However, little is known about the reversal mechanisms and energy requirements in the ultrafast switching regime.

Article Synopsis
- CBA-NSAIDs are widely used for their effective pain relief and anti-inflammatory properties, but they can cause adverse events due to their impact on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress.
- This review highlights the potential damage caused by CBA-NSAIDs, including reactive oxygen species production and cellular damage, and emphasizes the importance of careful dosage and patient consultation to mitigate risks.
- The article suggests that further research into natural plant extracts may help prevent and treat the metabolic issues associated with CBA-NSAIDs, which could improve their safe use.
Article Synopsis
- Epitaxial graphene/ferromagnetic metal heterostructures are promising for spintronic devices due to their unique magnetic properties and stability.
- The research focuses on understanding the spin-orbit coupling at the interface of graphene and cobalt on iridium, revealing that hybridization contributes to strong coupling effects.
- Findings indicate that while thin cobalt layers exhibit significant spin-orbit effects, these vanish with thicker layers, highlighting the importance of graphene's electronic interactions for future spintronic applications.
The resistance of multidrug-resistant bacteria to existing antibiotics forces the continued development of new antibiotics and antibacterial agents, but the high costs and long timeframe involved in the development of new agents renders the hope that existing antibiotics may again play a part. The "antibiotic adjuvant" is an indirect antibacterial strategy, but its vague concept has, in the past, limited the development speed of related drugs. In this review article, we put forward an accurate concept of a "non-self-antimicrobial sensitisers (NSAS)", to distinguish it from an "antibiotic adjuvant", and then discuss several scientific methods to restore bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics, and the sources and action mechanism of existing NSAS, in order to guide the development and further research of NSAS.

In the present research study, we addressed the hypothesis that exposure to Type I pyrethroid tefluthrin may specifically target the dopaminergic and serotoninergic systems. Tefluthrin could modify brain monoamine neurotransmitters, DA and 5-HT levels as well as dopaminergic and serotoninergic signaling pathways.
