Synergistic Cellular Responses Conferred by Concurrent Optical and Magnetic Stimulation Are Attenuated by Simultaneous Exposure to Streptomycin: An Antibiotic Dilemma

Bioengineering
Concurrent optical and magnetic stimulation (COMS) combines extremely low-frequency electromagnetic and light exposure for enhanced wound healing. We investigated the potential mechanistic synergism between the magnetic and light components of COMS by ...

Evaluating the power of a recent method for comparing two circular distributions: an alternative to the Watson U2 test

Scientific Reports, 2023
Some data are collected on circular (rather than linear) scales. Often researchers are interested in comparing two samples of such circular data to test the hypothesis that they came from the same underlying population.

Magnetoreception in eusocial insects: an update [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2010
Behavioural experiments for magnetoreception in eusocial insects in the last decade are reviewed. Ants and bees use the geomagnetic field to orient and navigate in areas around their nests and along migratory paths. Bees show sensitivity to small changes in magnetic fields in conditioning experiments and when exiting the hive.

Bioinspired Sensory Transduction for Magnetic Profile Recognition and Encryption

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
Magnetic sensing in nature relies on dynamic transduction pathways, yet synthetic counterparts remain limited. We introduce a bioinspired system that couples electromagnetic induction in moldable magnetic soft composites with machine learning to encode and decode static (shape, rheology, magnetization) and dynamic (magnetization decay) magnetic ...

Shedding Light on Vertebrate Magnetoreception [PDF]

Neuron, 2002
We review the challenges and recent progress in elucidating the physiological basis of animal magnetoreception. Behavioral and theoretical studies suggest a link between photoreception and magnetoreception in some animals. Neurophysiological studies have the potential to prove this link and identify the location of and the mechanism underlying the ...

Subcellular analysis of pigeon hair cells implicates vesicular trafficking in cuticulosome formation and maintenance

eLife, 2017
Hair cells are specialized sensors located in the inner ear that enable the transduction of sound, motion, and gravity into neuronal impulses. In birds some hair cells contain an iron-rich organelle, the cuticulosome, that has been implicated in the ...

Comparing Exciton–Plasmon Couplings in J‐Aggregate and TMD‐Based Hybrids Using Angle‐Resolved Two‐Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 8, 24 April 2026.
Polaritons—hybrid light‐matter states—allow for flexibly tailoring the optical response of materials. The authors compare ultrafast, two‐dimensional electronic spectroscopy studies of different classes of polaritons, formed by coupling a plasmonic grating to either excitons in a thin film of molecular J‐aggregates or a WS2 monolayer.

Delayed Correlations Between Geomagnetic Activity and Human EEG Alpha and Theta Oscillations: Evidence from Archival and Experimental Data

Brain Sciences
Neural oscillations in the alpha and theta bands have been linked to environmental factors, including geomagnetic disturbances, yet the temporal dynamics of these interactions remain poorly understood.

movetrack: An R package to model flight paths from radio‐telemetry networks

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1069-1081, April 2026.
Abstract Tracking small‐ to large‐scale movements of animals is important for studying their interactions with the environment, including how they adjust and adapt their migration in response to environmental and human‐induced changes. Despite the technical progress in tracking devices, a major challenge remains for small animals—such as songbirds ...

Magnetically Stimulated Myogenesis Recruits a CRY2-TRPC1 Photosensitive Signaling Axis

Cells
The cryptochromes are flavoproteins that either individually or synergistically respond to light and magnetic field directionality as well as are implicated in circadian rhythm entrainment and development. Single brief exposures (10 min) to low energy (1.
