A PEDOT:PSS-based flexible bimodal resonant sensor with independently controllable modes.

Traditional sensors struggle in complex human environments, particularly with humidity and strain detection requiring high sensitivity and robust anti-interference. This work introduces a flexible, miniaturized, low-cost dual-mode sensor that combines a novel resonator structure with a chemically modified conducting polymer, enabling simultaneous strain and humidity detection alongside high anti-interference performance sensitivity and wireless transmission.

The graded heat-health risk forecast and early warning with full-season coverage across China: a predicting model development and evaluation study.

Background: Due to global climate change, high temperature and heatwaves have become critical issues that pose a threat to human health. An effective early warning system is essential to mitigate the health risks associated with high temperature and heatwaves. However, most of the current heatwave early warning systems are not adequately developed based on the heat-health risk model, and the health impact of hot weather has not been well managed in most countries.

Targeted Docking of Localized Hydrogen Bond for Efficient and Reversible Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Hydrogen bond (HB) chemistry, a pivotal feature of aqueous zinc-ion batteries, modulates electrochemical processes through weak electrostatic interactions among water molecules. However, significant challenges persist, including sluggish desolvation kinetics and inescapable parasitic reactions at the electrolyte-electrode interface, associated with high water activity and strong Zn2+-solvent coordination. Herein, a targeted localized HB docking mechanism is activated by the polyhydroxy hexitol-based electrolyte, optimizing Zn2+ solvation structures via dipole interaction and reconstructing interfacial HB networks through preferential parallel adsorption.

Design of a high transmission illumination optics for anamorphic EUV lithography optics using deep reinforcement learning.

The design of the illumination optics for high numerical aperture (NA) anamorphic extreme ultraviolet (EUV) projection optics is a critical challenge to EUV lithography in advanced technology node. However, the EUV illumination optics design using conventional methods have flaws in illumination efficiency and illumination uniformity due to the limitations of relay configuration and matching method that can only consider one factor affecting illumination uniformity. One-mirror configuration can improve illumination efficiency by reducing the number of mirrors.

Superfluorescence and nonlinear optical response of CHNHPbBr-based mesostructures: applications to amplified spontaneous emission and ultrafast lasers.

Metal halide perovskites have unique luminescent properties that make them an attractive alternative for high quality light-emitting devices. However, the poor stability of perovskites with many defects and the long cycle time for the preparation of perovskite nanocomposites have hindered their production and application. Here, we prepared the perovskite mesostructures by embedding MAPbBr nanocrystals in the mesopores on the surface of silica nanospheres and mixing the nanospheres with silver nanowires and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and further explored their optical properties.
