the effect of external magnetic and electric fields, in the range of electroporation and magnetoporation, on lucifer yellow (ly) fluorescence in the absence of cells is studied. electric-field-induced quenching and magnetic field-induced increase are observed for fluorescence intensity of ly. regard to the fact that the variation of field-induced fluorescence, even in the absence of cells, can ...

The ”reverse–dynamo” mechanism — the amplification/generation of fast plasma flows by micro scale (turbulent) magnetic fields via magneto–fluid coupling is recognized and explored. It is shown that macroscopic magnetic fields and flows are generated simultaneously and proportionately from microscopic fields and flows. The stronger the micro–scale driver, the stronger are the macro–scale product...

The possibility of testing spatial noncommutativity via Rydberg atoms is explored. An atomic di-pole of a cold Rydberg atom is arranged in appropriate electric and magnetic fields, so that the motion of the dipole is constrained to be planar and rotationally symmetric. Spatial noncommutativity leads the canonical angular momentum to possess fractional values. In the limit of vanishing kinetic e...

We report evidence for a robust magnetic compass response in C57BL/6J mice. Mice were trained to build their nests in one of four magnetic directions by creating a light gradient along the long axis of a rectangular cage and positioning a nest box at the opposite (dark) end. The mice were then tested overnight in a circular, visually symmetrical arena in one of four magnetic field alignments. T...
