The growth rate of the nonlinear ablative Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability is enhanced by magnetic fields self-generated by the Biermann battery mechanism; a scaling for this effect with perturbation height and wavelength is proposed and validated with extended-magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The magnetic flux generation rate around a single RT spike is found to scale with the spike height. The Hall parameter, which quantifies electron magnetization, is found to be strongly enhanced for short-wavelength spikes due to Nernst compression of the magnetic field at the spike tip. The impact of the magnetic field on spike growth is through both the suppressed thermal conduction into the unstable spike and the Righi-Leduc heat flow deflecting heat from the spike tip to the base. Righi-Leduc is found to be the dominant effect for small Hall parameters, while suppressed thermal conduction dominates for large Hall parameters. These results demonstrate the importance of considering magnetic fields in all perturbed inertial confinement fusion hot spots.

Proteases, an important class of enzymes that cleave proteins and peptides, carry a wealth of potentially useful information. Devices to enable routine and cost effective measurement of their activity could find frequent use in clinical settings for medical diagnostics, as well as some industrial contexts such as detecting on-line biological contamination. In particular, devices that make use of readouts involving magnetic particles may offer distinct advantages for continuous sensing because material they release can be magnetically captured downstream and their readout is insensitive to optical properties of the sample.

Chirality, a basic property of symmetry breaking, is crucial for fields such as biology and physics. Recent advances in the study of chiral systems have stimulated interest in the discovery of symmetry-breaking states that enable exotic phenomena such as spontaneous gyrotropic order and superconductivity. Here we examine the interaction between light chirality and electron spins in indium selenide and study the effect of magnetic field on emerging tunnelling photocurrents at the Van Hove singularity.

In recent years, the modulation of brain neural activity by applied electromagnetic fields has become a hot spot in neuroscience research. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) are two common non-invasive neuromodulation techniques. However, conventional tACS has limited stimulation effects in the deeper parts of the brain.
