🧬 A gentler way to pump blood for life support! We report a new approach to blood pumping for ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) that uses magnetic liquid interfaces instead of solid mechanical parts to move blood.

Craving the perfect egg on #worldeggday? Check out this paper: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Periodic cooking of eggs - Communications Engineering
Emilia Di Lorenzo and colleagues propose an approach to address the energy transport problem of cooking the albumen and yolk of a boiled egg at their optimal temperatures without separation. By alternating immersion in boiling water and water at 30∘C, the researchers achieve a fully set albumen similar to a soft boiled egg but with a creamy yolk similar to that of an egg cooked sous vide. The approach potentially offers nutritional benefit compared to other cooking approaches.

Soft magnetic hysteresis in a dysprosium amide–alkene complex up to 100 kelvin - Nature
A dysprosium amide–alkene complex shows soft magnetic hysteresis loops up to 100 kelvin, arising from the high charge density of the amide ligands and the structural role of the pendant alkene.
