Quark droplets stability induced by external magnetic field

Quark-gluon plasma in an external magnetic field.

Using numerical simulations of lattice QCD we calculate the effect of an external magnetic field on the equation of state of the quark-gluon plasma. The results are obtained using a Taylor expansion of the pressure with respect to the magnetic field for the first time. The coefficients of the expansion are computed to second order in the magnetic field. Our setup for the external magnetic field...

Quark Droplets in the NJL Mean Field

Cell response induced by internalized bacterial magnetic nanoparticles under an external static magnetic field.

Magnetic nanoparticles are widely used in bioapplications such as imaging and targeting tool. Their magnetic nature allows for the more efficient bioapplications by an external field gradient. However their combined effects have not yet been extensively characterized. Herein, we first demonstrate the biological effects of the communications between internalized bacterial magnetic nanoparticles ...

Chiral symmetry breaking and stability of quark droplets

We discuss the stability of strangelets — quark droplets with strangeness — in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model supplemented by a boundary condition for quark confinement. Effects of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking are considered properly inside quark droplets of arbitrary baryon number. We obtain the energy per baryon number of quark droplets with baryon number from one to thousands. It is show...

External magnetic field-induced selective biodistribution of magnetoliposomes in mice

This study looked at the effect of an external magnet on the biodistribution of magnetoliposomes intravenously administrated in mice (8 mg iron/kg) with and without induced acute inflammation. Our results showed that due to enhanced vascular permeability, magnetoliposomes accumulated at the site of inflammation in the absence of an external magnetic field, but the amount of iron present increas...
