Patterned micro-scale thin-film magnetic structures, in conjunction with weak (~few tens of Oe) applied magnetic fields, can create energy landscapes capable of trapping and transporting fluid-borne magnetic microparticles. These energy landscapes arise from magnetic field magnitude variations that arise in the vicinity of the magnetic structures. In this study, we examine means of calculating magnetic fields in the local vicinity of permalloy (NiFe) microdisks in weak (~tens of Oe) external magnetic fields.

Article Synopsis
- * The researchers synthesized more water-soluble derivatives of betulinic acid and tested them on mouse fibroblast cells infected with M-MuLV, observing that some derivatives effectively inhibited virus production and reduced viral protein levels.
- * The study found that while these derivatives inhibited viral production, they also negatively affected cell growth, indicating that the antiviral effects might be due to metabolism slowdown in the infected cells rather than directly blocking the virus's release.
