The effect of internal and external magnetic fields on the separation of antifungal drugs by centrifugal acceleration thin-layer chromatography was reported for the first time. External and internal magnetic fields were applied using neodymium magnets and CoFeO@SiO ferromagnetic nanoparticles. Separation of ketoconazole and clotrimazole was performed using a mobile phase consisting of n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and ammonia (2.0:2.0:0.5:0.2, v/v). The influence of the magnetic field on the entire chromatographic system led to changes in the properties of the stationary and mobile phases and the analytes affecting the retention factor, shape, and width of the separated rings. The extent of this impact depended on the structure of the analyte and the type and intensity of the magnetic field. In the presence of the external magnetic field, there were more significant changes in the chromatographic parameters of the drugs, especially the width of the separated rings, and ketoconazole was more affected than clotrimazole. The changes are conceivably due to the effect of the magnetic field on the analyte distribution between the stationary and mobile phases, which is also caused by the possibility of the magnetic field affecting the viscosity, surface tension, and surface free energy between the stationary and mobile phases.

Synergy between superconductivity and ferromagnetism may offer great opportunities in nondissipative spintronics and topological quantum computing. Yet at the microscopic level, the exchange splitting of the electronic states responsible for ferromagnetism is inherently incompatible with the spin-singlet nature of conventional superconducting Cooper pairs. Here, we exploit the recently discovered van der Waals ferromagnets as enabling platforms with marvelous controllability to unravel the myth between ferromagnetism and superconductivity.

Flexible magnetic sensors, which have advantages such as deformability, vector field sensing, and noncontact detection, are an important branch of flexible electronics and have significant applications in fields such as magnetosensitive electronic skin. Human skin surfaces have complicated deformations, which pose a demand for magnetic sensors that can withstand omnidirectional strain while maintaining stable performance. However, existing flexible magnetic sensor arrays can only withstand stretching along specific directions and are prone to failure under complicated deformations.

Enhanced Transepithelial Riboflavin Delivery Across the Cornea Using Magnetic Nanocarriers.

Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectasia characterized by irregular astigmatism, leading to corneal scarring and decreased vision. Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is the standard treatment to halt disease progression, but its effectiveness in transepithelial (epithelium-on, epi-on) approaches is limited by the low permeability of the corneal epithelium to riboflavin (Rb). This study aimed to enhance transepithelial Rb penetration in bovine corneas using Rb-modified tannic acid-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Rb-TA-SPIONs) under an external magnetic field.

Field analysis of heavy metals in biological samples is essential for assessing their potential threats to human health. The development of portable pretreatment and detection devices is crucial to address this challenge. Herein, a magnetic field-accelerated nonthermal plasma digestion device using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is designed for the rapid and environmentally friendly pretreatment of biological samples and subsequently combined with point discharge-optical emission spectrometry (PD-OES) for sensitive determination of heavy metals.

Ni(II) complexes with an integer spin = 1 that behave as clock transition spin qubits at zero magnetic field are resilient to magnetic fluctuations of the spin bath, while Co(II) complexes with a half-integer spin ( = 3/2) lose their coherence when they are subject to the same fluctuating magnetic field as the Ni(II) ones. These findings demonstrate that adequately designed Ni(II) complexes are excellent candidates for spin qubits.
