The theory of magnetic flux conservation is developed for a subsonic plasma implosion and used to describe the magnetic flux degradation in the MagLIF concept [S. A. Slutz et al., Phys. Plasmas 17, 056303 (2010)10.1063/1.3333505]. Depending on the initial magnetic Lewis and Péclet numbers and the electron Hall parameter, the implosion falls into either a superdiffusive regime in which the magnetization decreases or a magnetized regime in which the magnetization increases. Scaling laws for magnetic field, temperature, and magnetic flux losses in the hot spot of radius R are obtained for both regimes. The Nernst velocity convects the magnetic field outwards, pushing it against the liner and enhancing the magnetic field diffusion, thereby reducing the magnetic field compression and degrading the implosion performance. However, in the magnetized regime, the core of the hot spot becomes magnetically insulated and undergoes an ideal adiabatic compression (T∼R^{-4/3} compared to T∼R^{-2/3} without magnetic field), while the detrimental Nernst term is confined to the outer part of the hot spot. Its effect is drastically reduced, improving the magnetic flux conservation.

Although static magnetic fields (SMFs) have been reported to induce only minimal biological effects, it has been proposed that they may alter the effects of other agents, such as ionizing radiation. We sham-exposed or exposed human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells to 0.5-, 1.

Non-Hermitian topological photonics plays a key role in bridging topological matter with gain and loss engineering in optics. Here we report the experimental observation of the break of chiral currents in a Hall ladder from the non-Hermiticity by constructing synthetic frequency dimension in two rings, where currents on both legs of the ladder co-propagate in the same direction. The origin of such phenomena is resulted from the interplay between the effective magnetic flux and the on-site gain and loss.

This study addresses the challenges of magnetic circuit coupling and control complexity in active radial magnetic bearings (ARMBs) by systematically investigating the electromagnetic performance of four magnetic pole configurations (NNSS, NSNS, NNNN, and SSSS). Initially, equivalent magnetic circuit modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) were employed to analyze the magnetic circuit coupling phenomena and their effects on the magnetic flux density distribution for each configuration. Subsequently, the air gap flux density and electromagnetic force were quantified under rotor eccentricity caused by unbalanced disturbances, and the dynamic performances of the ARMBs were evaluated for eccentricity along the x-axis and at 45°.

The sensorless vector control method of synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs), based on extended back electromotive force (EMF) or flux observation, has been widely applied in the medium- or high-speed range. However, in the low-speed and low-current range, the extended back-EMF and flux are nearly zero. The use of the current frequency () control method can enable the motor to pass through the low-speed region, thereby ensuring that the back-EMF and flux reach a large value.

Methane leaking from the deep seabed is a primary source of carbon and energy for various microorganisms, sustaining the evolution and productivity of cold seep ecosystems. However, the dynamics of methane hydrate formation under methane seepage conditions and potential impacts on the evolution of cold seep ecosystems remain unclear. This study investigated the dynamic formation characteristics of gas hydrates within cold seep sediments by simulating the methane leakage process.
