Emerging nanotechnologies have enabled the use of magnetic forces to guide the movement of magnetically-labeled cells, drugs, and other therapeutic agents. Endothelial cells labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) have previously been captured on the surface of magnetizable 2205 duplex stainless steel stents in a porcine coronary implantation model. Recently, we have coa...

The augment of heat transfer and fluid of buoyancy-driven flow of Fe3O4-Water nanofluid in a square cavity under the influence of an external magnetic field is studied numerically. Cold temperature is applied on the side (vertical) walls and high temperature is imposed on the bottom wall while the top wall is kept at thermally insulated. The governing non-dimensional differential equations are ...

Magnetic nanofluids (known also as ferrofluids or magnetic fluids) are a special category of smart nanomaterials, in particular magnetically controllable nanofluids [1]. These types of nanofluids are colloids of magnetic nanoparticles, such as Fe3O4, γ-Fe2O3, CoFe2O4, Co, Fe or Fe-C, stably dispersed in a carrier liquid [2]. Consequently, these nanomaterials manifest simultaneously fluid and ma...

In this communication we propose and also verify through ab initio calculations a new electronic structure principle, viz. the minimum magnetizability principle (MMP), to extend the domain of applicability of the conceptual density functional theory (DFT) 1 in explaining the magnetic interactions and magnetochemistry. This principle may be stated as, “A stable configuration/conformation of a mo...

This paper presents an approach to establish the analytical formula for the force acting on a non-magnetic disc plunged into a ferrofluid, due to the effect of a magnetic field gradient generated by the magnetic inductor of the actuator. The expression of the force acting on a magnetizable body placed in a magnetic field was used for the particular conditions imposed by the actuator configurati...

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are field-responsive suspensions of magnetizable particles which rheological properties can be dramatically altered by applying external magnetic fields (Phulé and Ginder 1998). Under the presence of a magnetic field, anisotropic chainlike structures result from field-induced particle magnetization as a consequence of the permeability mismatch between particle and...

Many pharmaceuticals are proteins or their development is based on proteins. Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) is an innovative alternative to conventional cell based systems which enables the production of proteins with complex and even new characteristics. However, the short lifetime, low protein production and expensive reagent costs are still limitations of CFPS. Novel automated microfluid...

By modeling a linear polarizable and magnetizable medium (magnetodielectric) with two quantum fields, namely E and M, electromagnetic field is quantized in such a medium consistently and systematically. A Hamiltonian is proposed from which, using the Heisenberg equations, Maxwell and constitutive equations of the medium are obtained. For a homogeneous medium, the equation of motion of the quant...

This fluoroimmunoassay for digitoxin in serum involves use of a sheep antiserum to digitoxin coupled to magnetizable solid-phase particles and fluorescein-labeled 3-O-succinyl digitoxigenin as tracer. Sodium salicylate blocks binding of the drug by binding proteins, and endogenous fluorophores and other interfering components in serum samples are reliably and completely removed at the separatio...
