The behavior of magnetic nanoparticles in a time-varying magnetic field has several practical applications. One of these is hyperthermia used in the treatment of cancer. The nanoparticles injected in the tumor cells release the energy absorbed from the time dependent external magnetic field in the form of heat to its environment in a well-localized way. The aim of the research in this area is to maximize the amount of the dissipated energy. Using a combination of an oscillating and static magnetic field, this dissipated energy can be more focused in space. In this article, we investigated whether this spatial focusing is also present using a rotating and static field together. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of anisotropy and interaction between nanoparticles on this spatial focusing effect using the jump-diffusion model for Néel relaxation in both cases. This kinetic Monte Carlo (MC) method was validated and compared with the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (SLLG) equation based model. We have shown that the spatial focusing effect is also present for these non-idealized experimentally realizable cases. Also, the effect of rotating magnetic field on magnetic nanoparticles was not investigated in kinetic Monte Carlo simulations before.

NMR spectroscopy presents boundless opportunities for understanding the structure, dynamics, and function for a broad range of scientific applications. Solid-state NMR (SSNMR), in particular, provides novel insights into biological and material systems that are not amenable to other approaches. However, a major bottleneck is the extent of user training and the difficulty of obtaining reproducible, high-quality experimental results, especially for the sophisticated multidimensional pulse sequences that are essential to provide site-resolved measurements in large biomolecules.

The effects of static magnetic field-assisted freezing (MF) on the structural and functional characteristics of Litopenaeus vannamei myofibrillar protein (MP) at various temperatures (-35 ∼ -20 °C) were examined to assess its influence on MP and its energy-saving potential. The results indicated that -35 °C MF (MF-35) exhibited greater solubility and lower turbidity than -35 °C immersion freezing (IF-35), suggesting that MF-35 inhibited MP aggregation. MF-35 prevented the reduction in fluorescence intensity and α-helix content, protecting the MP tertiary and secondary structures.

Type-II multiferroicity from non-collinear spin order is recently explored in the van der Waals material NiI. Despite the importance for improper ferroelectricity, the microscopic mechanism of the helimagnetic order remains poorly understood. Here, the magneto-structural phases of NiI are investigated using resonant magnetic X-ray scattering (RXS) and X-ray diffraction.

Hereby inviting young rising stars in chest radiology in Japan for contributing what they are working currently, we would like to show the potentials and directions of the near future research trends in the research field. I will provide a reflection on my own research topics. At the end, we also would like to discuss on how to choose the themes and topics of research: What to do or not to do? We strongly believe it will stimulate and help investigators in the field.

Interfacial ferroelectricity emerges in non-centrosymmetric heterostructures consisting of non-polar van der Waals (vdW) layers. Ferroelectricity with concomitant Coulomb screening can switch topological currents or superconductivity and simulate synaptic response. So far, it has only been realized in bilayer graphene moiré superlattices, posing stringent requirements to constituent materials and twist angles.
