To cover a so-called terahertz gap in available sources of coherent electromagnetic radiation, the gyrotron with a pulsed solenoid producing up to a 40 T magnetic field has been designed, manufactured, and tested. At a 38.5 T magnetic field, the gyrotron generated coherent radiation at 1.022 THz frequency in 50 musec pulses. The microwave power and energy per pulse were about 1.5 kW and 75 mJ, respectively. Details of the gyrotron design, manufacturing, operation and measurements of output radiation are given.

Not only for man-made architecture but also for living cells, the relationship between force and structure is a fundamental properties that governs their mechanical behaviors. However, our knowledge of the mechanical properties of intracellular structures is very limited because of the lack of direct measurement methods. We established high-force intracellular magnetic tweezers that can generate calibrated forces up to 10 nN, enabling direct force measurements of the cytoskeleton.

Background And Objective: Non-invasive neuromodulation techniques (NIN), such as transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), have been extensively researched for their potential to alleviate pain by reversing neuroplastic changes associated with neuropathic pain (NP), a prevalent and complex condition. However, treating NP remains challenging due to the numerous variables involved, such as different techniques, dosages and aetiologies. It is necessary to provide insights for clinicians and public healthcare managers to support clinical decision-making.

The challenges of pollution and agro-industrial waste management have led to the development of bioconversion techniques to transform these wastes into valuable products. This has increased the focus on the sustainable and cost-efficient production of biosurfactants from agro-industrial waste. Hence, the present study investigates the production of sophorolipid biosurfactants using the yeast strain IIPL32 under submerged fermentation, employing sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate-a renewable, low-cost agro-industrial waste as the feedstock.

Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) can lead to dural ossification, significantly increasing the risk of complications, including intraoperative nerve injury. The application of augmented reality (AR) and advanced digital technologies in spine surgery has the potential to reduce these risks. This case report highlights a perioperative nerve injury-free microsurgery using elastic image fusion technology, which integrates preoperative imaging with intraoperative computed tomography for a patient with severe stenotic OLF and dural ossification.
