The adsorption of a new antibiotic, daptomycin, on two magnetic ultra-fine wood-based biochars were investigated in detail using batch experiments. The adsorbent materials was prepared by ball milling method, which was characterized by laser particle size analyzer, elemental analyzer, ICP-OES, VSM, BET, TG-DTG, FTIR and SEM. Furthermore, the effects of most important variables in the adsorption process, including solution pH, contact time, initial concentration and temperatures were investigated. The results exhibited that the adsorption of daptomycin was highly pH-dependent, and the capacity decreased with increasing pH. The adsorption process follows pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models, analysis indicated that their adsorption was dominantly by physisorption. Equilibrium data were fitted well with Freundlich isotherm model, implying a multilayer adsorption. Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic and increased randomness process. Mechanism study suggested the boundary layer diffusion was the rate limiting step.

Kinetic magnetic sand, composed of ultra-fine sand and dimethicone in a 98%-2% ratio, is a versatile sensory toy known for its moldable properties and structural stability (1). Despite the name, it lacks actual magnetic features. Ingesting kinetic sand can pose risks, including choking and gastrointestinal issues, especially in young children.

The development of higher-order micromagnetic small-angle neutron scattering theory in nanocrystalline materials is still in its infancy. One key challenge remaining in this field is understanding the role played by the microstructure on the magnitude and sign of the higher-order scattering contribution recently observed in nanocrystalline materials prepared by high-pressure torsion. By combining structural and magnetic characterization techniques, namely X-ray diffraction, electron backscattered diffraction and magnetometry with magnetic small-angle neutron scattering, this work discusses the relevance of higher-order terms in the magnetic small-angle neutron scattering cross section of pure iron prepared by high-pressure torsion associated with a post-annealing process.

In this investigation, spherical AlO magnetic abrasive particles (MAPs) were used to polish the inner surface of ultra-fine long cobalt-chromium alloy cardiovascular stent tubes. The magnetic abrasives were prepared by combining plasma molten metal powder and hard abrasives, and the magnetic abrasives prepared by this new method are characterized by high sphericity, narrow particle size distribution range, long life, and good economic value. Firstly, the spherical AlO magnetic abrasives were prepared by the new method; secondly, the polishing machine for the inner surface of the ultra-fine long cardiovascular stent tubes was developed; finally, the influence laws of spindle speed, magnetic pole speed, MAP filling quantities, the magnetic pole gap on the surface roughness (Ra), and the removal thickness (RT) of tubes were investigated.

Synthesis of high quality colloidal Cerium(III) doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Y Al O :Ce , "YAG:Ce") nanoparticles (NPs) meeting simultaneously both ultra-small size and high photoluminescence (PL) performance is challenging, as generally a particle size/PL trade-off has been observed for this type of nanomaterials. The glycothermal route is capable to yield ultra-fine crystalline colloidal YAG:Ce nanoparticles with a particle size as small as 10 nm but with quantum yield (QY) no more than 20%. In this paper, the first ultra-small YPO -YAG:Ce nanocomposite phosphor particles having an exceptional QY-to-size performance with an QY up to 53% while maintaining the particle size ≈10 nm is reported.

. Low frequency coils present unique challenges as loop losses, component losses, and the supporting electronics can significantly degrade the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). SNR may already be a limiting factor with MRI at low field (and frequency), therefore the minimization of additional loss is particularly important.
