In noncentrosymmetric superconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC), an external magnetic field can induce the superconducting diode effect (SDE) characterized by the helical superconductivity. In this paper, we explore the intrinsic SDE in a superconductor with both Rashba and Dresselhaus SOCs and highlight the role of magnetic field direction in the nonreciprocal helical superconductivity. Numerical results reveal that the magnitude of the field-induced Cooper-pair momentum, which is relevant for the helical superconductivity, exhibits a strong anisotropy when the direction angle of the in-plane magnetic field is varied. This anisotropy, in turn, gives rise to a complex angle dependence of the SDE. Our results can be directly tested experimentally and pave the way for realizing SDE in mixed-SOC systems.

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are promising candidates for molecular-scale data storage and processing due to their strong magnetic anisotropy and long spin relaxation times. However, as the temperature rises, interactions between electronic states and lattice vibrations accelerate spin relaxation, significantly limiting their practical applications. Recently, ab initio simulations have made it possible to advance our understanding of phonon-induced magnetic relaxation, but significant deviations from the experiments have often been observed.

Inspired by the "Salvinia effect", a novel method for fabricating a magneto-responsive superhydrophobic surface coated with a cluster-distributed cilia array (CC-MRSS) was reported. This surface features a magnetically self-assembled nonuniform microcilia array and demonstrates exceptional microdroplet hydrophobicity, magnetic-responsive wettability, and corrosion resistance. The fabrication process involved mixing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and carbonyl iron powders (CIPs), followed by dividing the mixture into two parts.

Background: Immunomagnetic separation is essential for screening pathogenic bacteria to prevent food poisoning. However, free immunomagnetic nanobeads (IMNBs) coexist with IMNB-bacteria conjugates (IBCs) after traditional immunomagnetic separation resulting in the infeasibility for IMNBs on IBCs to further act as signal label in bacterial detection. Although we have demonstrated that magnetophoretic separation at a high flowrate could separate IBCs from IMNBs, partial IMNBs were still found with IBCs due to chaotic flows and resulted in inevitable interferences.

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have received significant attention in the food field due to their potential health risks. Herein, we proposed a novel core-shell structure magnetic cationic covalent organic framework (EB-DHTA-iCOF@FeO) designed for the efficient enrichment of trace-level EDCs in foodstuffs and analyzed using HPLC-MS/MS. Due to the phenolic EDCs structure possessing hydroxyl functional groups which become protonated under alkaline conditions, resulting in the formation of negatively charged anions.

High-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments call for the further development of pulsed magnets with a more practical winding structure and higher magnetic field homogeneity. This study presents the construction method and test results of a high-homogeneity pulsed magnet based on an optimized localized split structure. A winding craft using gap spacers was developed for the precise winding of split-gap transition wires.
