A self-sustained moist-electric generator with enhanced energy density and longevity through a bilayer approach.

Although MEG is being developed as a green renewable energy technology, there remains significant room for improvement in self-sustained power supply, generation duration, and energy density. In this study, we present a self-sustained, high-performance MEG device with a bilayer structure. The lower hydrogel layer incorporates graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the active materials, whereas the upper aerogel layer is comprised of pyrrole-modified graphene oxide (PGO).

Wide-range electrically tunable photonic spin Hall effect in a quasi-PT-symmetric structure.

The photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE), manifesting itself as the spin-dependent shifts of left- and right-handed circularly polarized light beams, holds potential applications in nanophotonics and precision measurement. Thus, realizing effective enhancement and regulation of PSHE is highly desirable. It is known that by adjusting the Fermi energy of graphene, the spin shifts in a graphene-based optical structure can be actively modulated and amplified.

A Selective α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Agonist, PNU-282987, Attenuates ILC2s Activation and -Induced Airway Inflammation.

Background: The anti-inflammatory effect of an α7nAChR agonist, PNU-282987, has previously been explored in the context of inflammatory disease. However, the effects of PNU-282987 on type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)-mediated allergic airway inflammation has not yet been established.

Aims: To determine the effects of PNU-282987 on the function of ILC2s in the context of IL-33- or (AA)- induced airway inflammation.
