Article Abstract
In this paper we present a review of the application of two types of magnetic sensors-fluxgate magnetometers and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensors-in the oil/gas industry. These magnetic sensors play a critical role in drilling wells safely, accurately and efficiently into a target reservoir zone by providing directional data of the well and acquiring information about the surrounding geological formations. Research into magnetic sensors for oil/gas drilling has not been explored by researchers to the same extent as other applications, such as biomedical, magnetic storage and automotive/aerospace applications. Therefore, this paper aims to serve as an opportunity for researchers to truly understand how magnetic sensors can be used in a downhole environment and to provide fertile ground for research and development in this area. A look ahead, discussing other magnetic sensor technologies that can potentially be used in the oil/gas industry is presented, and what is still needed in order deploy them in the field is also addressed.

Efficient analysis of active ingredient in complex natural products is crucial for drug discovery, but developing a simple method for this is challenging. The discovery of drugs against bacterial resistance is urgent because drug-resistant bacteria produce β-lactamases, which inactivate antibiotics and increase infection risks, particularly the AmpC β-lactamase. Here, an integrated analytical model based on colorimetric sensing and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) affinity chromatography was developed for screening AmpC β-lactamase inhibitors.

The exploration of perovskite compounds incorporating actinide and divalent elements reveals remarkable characteristics. Focusing on PbBkO, RaBkO, and SrBkO, these materials were studied using density functional theory (DFT) via the CASTEP code to analyze their electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. The results show semiconductor behavior, with respective band gaps of 1.

Article Synopsis
- The extraction of a submandibular-displaced mandibular third molar root is challenging for surgeons due to its closeness to important structures like the lingual nerve and sublingual artery.
- Preoperative imaging helps locate the root, but real-time synchronization is tough because of the mandible's moving nature.
- This study highlights the successful extraction of a residual root using a magnetic navigation system, resulting in a minimally invasive procedure with no complications or major issues reported postoperatively.
