Naturally occurring neodymium (60 Nd) is composed of five stable isotopes— 142 Nd, 143 Nd, 145 Nd, 146 Nd and 148 Nd, with 142 Nd being the most abundant (27.2% of the natural abundance)—and two radioisotopes with extremely long half-lives, 144 Nd (alpha decay with a half-life (t 1/2) of 2.29 × 10 15 years) and 150 Nd (double beta decay, t ...
Ferrofluid on glass, with a rare-earth magnet underneath. A rare-earth magnet is a strong permanent magnet made from alloys of rare-earth elements.Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types such as ferrite or alnico magnets.
A modern ferrocerium firesteel product is composed of an alloy of rare-earth metals called mischmetal, containing approximately 20.8% iron, 41.8% cerium, about 4.4% each of praseodymium, neodymium, and magnesium, plus 24.2% lanthanum. [5] A variety of other components are added to modify the spark and processing characteristics. [2]
The magnets used for implantation must be carefully selected and coated in order to successfully implant them. Size is important in this consideration, as too large of a magnet obstructs blood vessels and is likely to reject, or push out of the skin. For this reason, the most common magnet size is a 3×1mm neodymium disk magnet. Usually the ...
107 Pd is the only long-living radioactive isotope among the fission products and its beta decay has a long half life and low energy, this allows industrial use of extracted palladium without isotope separation. [9] Palladium-109 will most likely have decayed to stable silver-109 by the time reprocessing happens.

The field surrounding magnet therapy devices is far too weak and falls off with distance far too quickly to appreciably affect hemoglobin, other blood components, muscle tissue, bones, blood vessels, or organs. [3] [11] A 1991 study on humans of static field strengths up to 1 T found no effect on local blood flow.
“This is important because many people assume that expensive, invasive, and time-consuming blood tests, brain scans, or other so-called ‘biomarkers’ are necessary and important for ...
