An AC magnetic field, which is a carrier of information, is distributed everywhere and is continuous. How to use and detect this field has been an ongoing topic over the past few decades. Conventional magnetic sensors are usually based on the Hall Effect, the fluxgate, a superconductor quantum interface or magnetoelectric or magnetoresistive sensing. Here, a flexible, simple, low-cost and self-powered active piezoelectric nanogenerator (NG) is successfully demonstrated as an AC magnetic field sensor at room temperature. The amplitude and frequency of a magnetic field can both be accurately sensed by the NG. The output voltage of the NG has a good linearity with a measured magnetic field. The detected minute magnetic field is as low as 1.2 × 10(-7) tesla, which is 400 times greater than a commercial magnetic sensor that uses the Hall Effect. In comparison to the existing technologies, an NG is a room-temperature self-powered active sensor that is very simple and very cheap for practical applications.

This paper presents a novel investigation of a magnetic sensor that employs Fano/Tamm resonance within the photonic band gap of a one-dimensional crystal structure. The design incorporates a thin layer of gold (Au) alongside a periodic arrangement of Tantalum pentoxide ([Formula: see text]) and Cesium iodide ([Formula: see text]) in the configuration [Formula: see text]. We utilized the transfer matrix method in conjunction with the Drude model to analyze the formation of Fano/Tamm states and the permittivity of the metallic layer, respectively.

The sharing of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is of utmost importance in the field, as it enables a deeper understanding of facial nerve-related pathologies. However, there is a significant lack of multi-modal neuroimaging databases specifically focused on these conditions, which hampers our comprehensive knowledge of the neural foundations of facial paralysis. To address this critical gap and propel advancements in this area, we have released the Multimodal Neuroimaging Dataset of Meige Syndrome, Facial Paralysis, and Healthy Controls (MND-MFHC).

Understanding the ligand field interactions in lanthanide-containing magnetic molecular complexes is of paramount importance for understanding their magnetic properties, and simple models for rationalizing their effects are much desired. In this work, the equivalence between electrostatic models, which derive their results from calculating the electrostatic interaction energy of the charge density of the 4f electrons in an electrostatic potential representing the ligands, and the common quantum mechanical effective spin Hamiltonian in the space of the ground multiplet is formulated in detail. This enables the construction of an electrostatic potential for any given ligand field Hamiltonian and discusses the effects of the ligand field interactions in terms of an interaction of a generalized 4f charge density with the electrostatic potential.

Myocardial remodelling involves structural and functional changes in the heart, potentially leading to heart failure. The deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)/salt model is a widely used experimental approach to study hypertension-induced cardiac remodelling. It allows to investigate the mechanisms underlying myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy, which are key contributors to impaired cardiac function.
