Establishing connections between material impurities and charge transport properties in emerging electronic and quantum materials, such as wide-bandgap semiconductors, demands new diagnostic methods tailored to these unique systems. Many such materials host optically-active defect centers which offer a powerful in situ characterization system, but one that typically relies on the weak spin-electric field coupling to measure electronic phenomena. In this work, charge-state sensitive optical microscopy is combined with photoelectric detection of an array of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers to directly image the flow of charge carriers inside a diamond optoelectronic device, in 3D and with temporal resolution.

The participating reactants and resultant products of a pathway, including gene fragments, proteins, and small molecules, coalesce to form a complex reaction network. Biochemical pathways play a critical role in the biochemical domain as they can reveal the flow of biochemical reactions in living organisms, making them essential for understanding life processes.

Results: The INCAWrapper enables the use of INCA purely through Python, which allows the use of INCA in common data science workflows.
Availability And Implementation: The INCAWrapper is implemented in Python and can be found at https://github.
Introduction: Partial nephrectomy is currently the preferred treatment option for T1a renal cell carcinomas (RCC), with nephron-sparing techniques, including microwave ablation, becoming more common in select patients. Primary aims are to document outcomes of microwave ablation for T1a RCCs in an Australian tertiary centre to add to the evidence for its safety and efficacy.
Methods: The prospectively maintained Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital Interventional Radiology database was retrospectively searched for all Renal Microwave ablations completed between June 2012 and February 2022.
As technology development drives the thickness of thin film depositions down into the nano regime, understanding and controlling the dewetting of thin films has become essential for many applications. The dewetting of ultra-thin Ag (9 nm) films with Ti (0.5 nm) adhesion and capping layers on glass substrates was investigated in this work.
