The tidal flow of electrically conductive oceans through the geomagnetic field results in the generation of secondary magnetic signals, which provide information on the subsurface structure. Data from the new generation of satellites were shown to contain magnetic signals due to tidal flow; however, there are no reports that these signals have been used to infer subsurface structure. We use satellite-detected tidal magnetic fields to image the global electrical structure of the oceanic lithosphere and upper mantle down to a depth of about 250 km. The model derived from more than 12 years of satellite data reveals a ≈72-km-thick upper resistive layer followed by a sharp increase in electrical conductivity likely associated with the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, which separates colder rigid oceanic plates from the ductile and hotter asthenosphere.

Background: Immunomagnetic separation is essential for screening pathogenic bacteria to prevent food poisoning. However, free immunomagnetic nanobeads (IMNBs) coexist with IMNB-bacteria conjugates (IBCs) after traditional immunomagnetic separation resulting in the infeasibility for IMNBs on IBCs to further act as signal label in bacterial detection. Although we have demonstrated that magnetophoretic separation at a high flowrate could separate IBCs from IMNBs, partial IMNBs were still found with IBCs due to chaotic flows and resulted in inevitable interferences.

Objectives: Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can silence disease-related genes through sequence-specific RNA interference (RNAi). Cationic lipid-based liposomes effectively deliver nucleic acids into the cytoplasm but often exhibit significant toxicity. This study aims to synthesize a novel ionizable lipid, Nε-laruoyl-lysine amide (LKA), from natural amino acids, constructed LKA-based liposomes, and perform physicochemical characterization and cell-based experiments to systematically evaluate the potential of these ionizable lipid-based liposomes for nucleic acid delivery.

In this paper we present the high-precision and accurate Th/Th isotope ratio measurement by a novel multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with a pre-cell mass filter and a MS/MS collision/reaction cell (Neoma™ MC-ICP-MS/MS). No tailing correction is needed for the Th signal, as the tailing of an adjacent high intensity peak (abundance sensitivity) is effectively reduced due to high extent of Ar-based ion removal before the electrostatic analyser/magnetic sector. The obtained abundance sensitivity at m-2 (i.

Collecting and averaging large datasets is a common practice in transmission electron microscopy to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Averaging data in off-axis electron holography requires automated tools capable of correcting both the drift of the interference fringes and the drift of the specimen. This can be achieved either off-line, by post-processing hologram series, or on-line, through real-time microscope control.
