Recently, Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM) has helped researchers advance the emerging field of magnetic skyrmions. These magnetic quasi-particles, composed of topologically non-trivial magnetization textures, have a large potential for application as information carriers in low-power memory and logic devices. LTEM is one of a very few techniques for direct, real-space imaging of magnetic features at the nanoscale. For Fresnel-contrast LTEM, the transport of intensity equation (TIE) is the tool of choice for quantitative reconstruction of the local magnetic induction through the sample thickness. Typically, this analysis requires collection of at least three images. Here, we show that for uniform, thin, magnetic films, which includes many skyrmionic samples, the magnetic induction can be quantitatively determined from a single defocused image using a simplified TIE approach.

Introduction: The combination of magnetic and focused ultrasonic fields generates focused electric fields at depth entirely noninvasively. This noninvasive method may find particularly important applications in targeted treatments of the deep brain circuits involved in mental and neurological disorders. Due to the novelty of this method, it is nonetheless unknown which parameters modulate neural activity effectively.

Article Synopsis
- A new technique called high-PAS combines high-frequency peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and high-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to potentially enhance motor function in patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries.
- The interstimulus interval (ISI) in high-PAS allows for flexibility, making it easier to implement in clinical settings where precise timing is tough, but this also creates challenges for measuring its effectiveness.
- Research with ten healthy participants showed that high-PAS improved motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) and significantly increased spinal excitability (measured by H-reflex amplitudes) during spinal-targeted sessions, but not in cortical-targeted sessions.

Many tissues exhibit structural anisotropy, which imparts orientation-specific properties and functions. However, recapitulating the cellular patterns found in anisotropic tissues presents a remarkable challenge, particularly when using soft and wet hydrogels. Herein, we develop self-assembled anisotropic magnetic FeO micropatterns on polyethylene glycol hydrogels utilizing dipole-dipole interactions.

Background: Melanoma is an aggressive skin tumor with limited therapeutic options due to rapid proliferation, early metastasis, and poor prognosis. Baicalin (BA), a natural flavonoid, shows promise in inducing ferroptosis and apoptosis but faces challenges of poor solubility and bioavailability. To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional drug delivery system: manganese-doped ZIF-8 nanoparticles (ZIF(Mn)) loaded with BA and modified with folic acid (FA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG).
