Automated 1D Helmholtz coil design for cell biology: Weak magnetic fields alter cytoskeleton dynamics [PDF]
arXivFor more than fifty years, scientists have been gathering evidence of the biological impacts of weak magnetic fields. However, the lack of systematics in experimental studies has hampered research progress on this subject. To systematically quantify magnetic field effects in cell biology, it is crucial to produce fields that can be automatically ...
