Hyperthermia using magnetic nanoparticles is a promising cancer therapy that locally destroys tumors and induces antitumor immunity by releasing tumor antigens from dying cells. However, magnetic hyperthermia in malignant melanomas with poor immunogenicity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment remains challenging. Here, all-in-one magnetic nanoparticles (αPD-L1/CpG@MCL) are developed for thermo-immunotherapy that enables hyperthermia with magnetic nanoparticles and immunotherapy with anti-PD-L1 antibody and CpG to improve the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Magnetic hyperthermia with magnetite cationic liposomes (MCL, without anti-PD-L1 antibody and CpG) inhibits tumor growth in B16F10 melanoma; however, complete tumor regression is not observed. In contrast, complete tumor regression is observed when mice are treated with thermo-immunotherapy using αPD-L1/CpG@MCL. Additionally, mice cured after magnetic hyperthermia with αPD-L1/CpG@MCL rejected rechallenge with B16F10 cells, and cytotoxicity assay using splenocytes from cured mice shows the induction of antitumor immunity against B16F10 cells. Analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes reveals that magnetic hyperthermia with αPD-L1/CpG@MCL increased CD8 T lymphocytes and M1-like macrophages, and decreased M2-like macrophages, indicating an improvement in the tumor microenvironment. This study provides a key design strategy for all-in-one magnetic nanoparticles that could cure malignant melanomas.

Electromagnetic materials with adjustable dielectric and magnetic properties are constantly sought after in electronic and industrial fields. In this study, an innovative strategy that customizes anchored Co-based nanoparticles to optimize the electronic behaviors is proposed for the first time, enabling a controllable and high-efficiency evolution of the macroscopic electromagnetic response of Co-based (C/CoT) nanoplates across the X-ray, light in the solar band and gigahertz band. Specifically, in the gigahertz band, the C/Co and C/CoSe nanoplates with high-power loss capabilities can effectively attenuate and convert electromagnetic energy into heat energy, which not only prevents space electromagnetic radiation but also powers energy for various electromagnetic devices such as thermoelectric generators and microwave actuators.

Background: This research investigates the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow, heat, and mass transfer of tangent hyperbolic ternary hybrid nanofluids over a permeable stretching sheet. The study considers three types of nanoparticles-aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), copper (Cu), and titanium oxide (TiO₂)-dispersed in a base fluid of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂). This ternary hybrid nanofluid (Al₂O₃-Cu-TiO₂/C₂H₆O₂) has potential applications in cooling systems, biomedical uses for targeted drug delivery and hyperthermia treatments, heat exchangers, and polymer processing techniques like extrusion and casting.

The Halbach array, originally developed for particle accelerators, is a compact arrangement of permanent magnets that creates well-defined magnetic fields without heating. Here, we demonstrate its use for modulating the speed of electromechanical waves in cardiac syncytia of human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. At 40-50 mT magnetic field strength, a cylindrical dipolar Halbach array boosted the conduction velocity, CV, by up to 25% when the magnetic field was co-aligned with the electromechanical wave (but not when perpendicular to it).

Magnetic biochar (MBC), as an environmentally friendly material, has been extensively used for the remediation of soil and groundwater contamination. The retention and release of nanoplastics (NPs) with carboxyl (NPs-COOH) or amino functionalization (NPs- NH) in saturated porous media were investigated under varying conditions of ionic strength (IS), MBC addition, humic acid (HA) concentration, and cation types. The reversible and irreversible retention of NPs was examined by altering the IS, increasing the solution pH, and inducing cation exchange.

This research highlights the different behaviors of titanium (Ti) wires under the action of 500 W and 800 W microwave power levels. Following the interaction between microwaves and a titanium wire placed in the node of the (TM-transverse magnetic mode) waveguide in air at atmospheric pressure, plasma was generated. Using optical emission spectroscopy technique it was observed that during plasma generation at 500 W and 800 W microwaves powers, metallic ions, and gas ions were created, and the plasmas fulfilled the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) conditions.
