Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a simple point-of-care method for detecting various analytes. However, the lack of test result precision and poor quantification are the main bottlenecks of LFIA. Although magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained prominence as potent labels in LIFA, the quantitative detection method for trace biomarkers remains to be improved. Here, we propose a promising real-time biosensing platform based on a highly sensitive atomic magnetometer to fulfill the quantitative detection of MNP-based lateral flow immunochromatographic assays. The strategy entails obtaining the residual flux density component spectrum by continuously and linearly scanning the trace MNP label and then resolving the magnetization and quantity from the spectrum. Moreover, we exploit the theoretical model of the magnetic dipole to verify the method's reliability. Regarding carcinoembryonic antigen detection, the atomic magnetometer exhibits a low detection limit of ∼0.01 ng mL with a 100-fold enhancement factor compared to optical detection methods and a more straightforward mechanism than other magnetic detection approaches. Together, these results provide valuable insight for the potential application of atomic magnetometer quantum measurement techniques in intelligent diagnosis and treatment.

Low-frequency noise in detection systems significantly affects the performance of ultrasensitive and ultracompact spin-exchange relaxation-free atomic magnetometers. High frequency modulation detection helps effectively suppress the 1/ noise and enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, but conventional modulators are bulky and restrict the development of integrated atomic magnetometer modulation-detection systems. Resonant metasurface-based thin-film lithium-niobate (TFLN) active optics can modulate free-space light within a compact configuration.

In this study, we propose and demonstrate an inverse-designed linearly polarized light emitter suitable for 795 nm wavelength light. Due to the fact that the electric field of the TE fundamental mode is almost a beam of linearly polarized light, we verified whether the emission light obtained when only coupling efficiency is taken as the objective function is linearly polarized.

We propose a non-magnetic transparent heating film based on silver nanowires (Ag-NWs) for application in spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) magnetic field measurement devices. To achieve ultra-high sensitivity in atomic magnetometers, the atoms within the alkali metal vapor cell must be maintained in a stable and uniform high-temperature environment. Ag-NWs, as a transparent conductive material with exceptional electrical conductivity, are well suited for this application.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on using magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) combined with chitosan to improve targeted drug delivery for breast cancer treatment, aiming for better efficacy and fewer side effects.
- MNPs were created through a co-precipitation method, and then encapsulated with the anti-cancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in chitosan beads, followed by a variety of characterization techniques to confirm their properties.
- Results indicated a high entrapment efficiency of 85-90% and notable cytotoxic effects on breast cancer cells, with drug release varying under different pH levels, suggesting a promising strategy for targeted cancer therapy.

Emerging miniaturized atomic sensors such as optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) have attracted widespread interest due to their application in high-spatial-resolution biomagnetism imaging. While optical probing systems in conventional OPMs require bulk optical devices including linear polarizers and lenses for polarization conversion and wavefront shaping, which are challenging for chip-scale integration. In this study, an integrated optical probing scheme based on localized-interference metasurface for chip-scale OPM is developed.
