Iontophoresis is a procedure in which an electrical current is passed through skin soaked in tap water(not distilled water), normal saline(0. 9%), or a solution containing an anticholinergic medication, which allows ionised(charged) particles to cross the normal skin barrier. It reduces sweating and enhances the delivery of drugs and macromolecules into and through the skin. 2, record 1, English, - iontophoresis

Le principe de la résonance magnétique repose sur le fait que lorsqu'un moment magnétique situé dans un champ magnétique est soumis à une excitation magnétique périodique, son comportement n'est influencé par l'excitation que si celle-ci à une fréquence bien déterminée. Cette perturbation affecte le comportement électromagnétique de l'échantillon étudié et peut être mesurée. On obtient alors une courbe de variation appelée raie de résonance. La mesure directe de la résonance magnétique a été améliorée à l'occasion des études sur les radars pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. 6, record 9, French, - moment%20magn%C3%A9tique

Lévitation magnétique [...] - rotation: il est possible de faire léviter un objet avec des aimants fixes. Un exemple en est le lévitron : il s'agit d'une toupie aimantée qui est en lévitation au-dessus d'une base aimantée. En fait, le lévitron peut être considéré comme une sorte de corps diamagnétique : par rotation, on stabilise la direction du moment magnétique dans l'espace (on a un gyroscope magnétique) et on place cet aimant dans un champ magnétique anti-parallèle. 7, record 9, French, - moment%20magn%C3%A9tique
