Article Synopsis
  • Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a severe form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with a generally poor outcome, and the effectiveness of PET/CT scans in assessing treatment response in these patients is still uncertain.
  • A study analyzed data from 120 MCL patients, focusing on various PET/CT parameters to determine their impact on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) following treatment.
  • The findings showed that metabolic response and tumor burden parameters (like metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis) are key predictors of PFS, while features related to tumor spread are important for estimating OS.

Article Synopsis
  • Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been widely used for imaging nanostructures, but traditional detectors often miss valuable information from secondary electrons.
  • By modifying standard SEM tools, researchers can capture detailed momentum and energy data from secondary electrons, enabling them to visualize electric fields in silicon p-n junctions and differentiate doped regions buried beneath the surface.
  • This new approach reveals significant insights into surface band bending in semiconductor structures, enhancing our understanding of complex electronic components crucial for modern manufacturing.

Any electrical signal propagating in a metallic conductor loses amplitude due to the natural resistance of the metal. Compensating for such losses presently requires repeatedly breaking the conductor and interposing amplifiers that consume and regenerate the signal. This century-old primitive severely constrains the design and performance of modern interconnect-dense chips.

There is growing interest in material candidates with properties that can be engineered beyond traditional design limits. Compositionally complex oxides (CCO), often called high entropy oxides, are excellent candidates, wherein a lattice site shares more than four cations, forming single-phase solid solutions with unique properties. However, the nature of compositional complexity in dictating properties remains unclear, with characteristics that are difficult to calculate from first principles.

Realizing rechargeable cells with practical energy and power density requires electrodes with high active material loading, a remaining challenge for solid-state batteries. Here, we present a new strategy based on ionogel-derived solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) to form composite electrodes that enable high active material loading (>10 mg/cm, ~9 mA/cm at 1C) in a scalable approach for fabricating Li-ion cells. By tuning the precursor and active materials composition incorporated into the composite lithium titanate electrodes, we achieve near-theoretical capacity utilization at C/5 rates and cells capable of stable cycling at 5.
