Magnetism as a Proxy for Sedimentary REY Enrichment in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and Its Potential Use for Identifying Deep Ocean REY

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Rare earth elements and yttrium (REY) are critical for advanced technological and environmental applications. REY‐enriched deep‐sea sediments have attracted attention as significant potential REY resources. However, efficient identification of these deposits in the open oceans is a persistent challenge.

Interactions Between Active Matters and Endogenous Fields

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 45, November 13, 2025.
This review synthesizes endogenous field information and computational methods in contexts such as cancer, wounds, and biofilms. It organizes NAMs and AAMs by sensing, transmitting, and executing functions, compares their limitations, and from these contrasts proposes design strategies for next‐generation AAMs, offering perspectives to foster ...

Toward Calibrating for Bottom Water Oxygenation Using Magnetofossils: New Insights From Southeast Atlantic and Northeast Pacific Surface Sediments

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract Accurate estimation of past ocean oxygen concentrations is vital for understanding the ocean's response to global climate change, but proxies for reconstructing bottom water oxygen (BWO) are limited. Magnetofossils, produced by magnetotactic bacteria, are sensitive to redox conditions in various environments.

Bacterial magnetosome and its potential application

Microbiological Research, 2017
Bacterial magnetosome, synthetized by magnetosome-producing microorganisms including magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) and some non-magnetotactic bacteria (Non-MTB), is a new type of material comprising magnetic nanocrystals surrounded by a phospholipid bilayer. Because of the special properties such as single magnetic domain, excellent biocompatibility and

Iron‐Bearing Minerals as Potential Indicators of Paleo‐Methane Seepage Evolution

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Methane (CH4) release and consumption in marine cold seeps are key processes influencing seabed ecology, global climate reconstruction, and hydrate resource exploration. Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), the primary methane consumption mechanism, typically couples with microbial sulfate or metal reduction.
