Colossal magnetic fields in high refractive index materials at microwave frequencies.

Resonant scattering of electromagnetic waves is a widely studied phenomenon with a vast range of applications that span completely different fields, from astronomy or meteorology to spectroscopy and optical circuitry. Despite being subject of intensive research for many decades, new fundamental aspects are still being uncovered, in connection with emerging areas, such as metamaterials and metasurfaces or quantum and topological optics, to mention some. In this work, we demonstrate yet one more novel phenomenon arising in the scattered near field of medium sized objects comprising high refractive index materials, which allows the generation of colossal local magnetic fields.

Development of an immunoassay test system based on monoclonal antybodies and immunomagnetic particles for the detection of F. tularensis cells.

Tularemia is an especially dangerous infection caused by the gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis. It belongs to natural focal infections, and therefore is under continuous control by quarantine services. When carrying out their activities they use a whole range of diagnostic tools.

The Influence of Dimerization on the Pharmacokinetics and Activity of an Antibacterial Enzyme Lysostaphin.

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria is a major healthcare problem. Antibacterial lysins are enzymes that cleave the peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall. These proteins hold potential as a supplement or an alternative to traditional antibiotics since they are active against antibiotic resistant strains.

Resonant microwave fields and negative magnetic response, induced by displacement currents in dielectric rings: theory and the first experiments.

The theoretical basis and experimental verification of resonant phenomena in the electromagnetic fields generated by displacement current in the near zone of dielectric ring is presented. According to the traditional viewpoint, the dielectric has an influence on the electric field inside resonator. To the contrary, we demonstrate that the dielectric ring exhibits magnetic properties at resonance.
