Recent progress in electrochemical recycling of waste NdFeB magnets.

Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets are critical components in green energy technologies and have received increasing attention due to the limited availability of the raw materials, specifically rare earth elements (REEs). The supply risks associated with primary mining of RE ores, which have significant environmental impacts, underscore the necessity for recycling RE secondary resources. Waste NdFeB magnets, generated during manufacturing processes and recovered from end-of-life products, represent valuable RE secondary resources.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how membrane stiffness affects cell behavior and examines the physical properties of membranes in a lab setting.
  • Researchers introduced magnetic nanoparticles into breast cancer cells and used magnetic fields to see if they could damage the endosomal membrane.
  • Findings show that applying a strong static magnetic field can induce membrane damage in early endosomes, particularly when using a magnetic field strength of 100 mT for five minutes, highlighting the potential for controlled damage with magnetic fields.

Aim: Foreign body ingestion, particularly that of magnets, is a significant issue for children aged 6 months to 3 years due to their prevalence in toys and household items. Most ingested foreign bodies pass naturally, but 10%-20% of such cases require endoscopic removal, and <1% require surgery.

Case Presentation: A 2-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Previously, we developed a dynamic magnetic field (DMF) device using neodymium magnets that induced c-fos expression in cortical neurons, while activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) remained unaffected. The precise signal transduction pathway for c-fos induction under DMF was unclear. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of immediate early gene (IEG) induction using calcium channel blockers (CCBs).
