Circular Dichroism and Interlayer Exciton Hall Effect in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Homobilayers.

In van der Waals (vdW) architectures of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), the coupling between interlayer exciton and quantum degrees of freedom opens unprecedented opportunities for excitonic physics. Taking the MoSe homobilayer as representative, we identify that the interlayer registry defines the nature and dynamics of the lowest-energy interlayer exciton. The large layer polarization () is proved, which ensures the formation of layer-resolved interlayer excitons.

Influence of Operating Temperature on Crack Growth Characteristics and Fatigue Life Prediction of Carbon Black-Filled Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber.

Rubber is widely used in situations involving cyclic loads, and the influence of temperature on rubber properties is particularly pronounced under cyclic loading. In this study, mechanical property tests and crack propagation tests of carbon black-filled hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber were conducted at four different operating temperatures. Based on the results of the crack propagation tests, the temperature-dependent characteristics of the Paris-Erdogan parameters and strain energy density were clarified.

Design and Implementation of a CMOS-MEMS Out-of-Plane Detection Gyroscope.

A MEMS gyroscope is a critical sensor in attitude control platforms and inertial navigation systems, which has the advantages of small size, light weight, low energy consumption, high reliability and strong anti-interference capability. This paper presents the design, simulation and fabrication of a Y-axis gyroscope with out-of-plane detection developed using CMOS-MEMS technology. The structural dimensions of the gyroscope were optimized through a multi-objective genetic algorithm, and modal, harmonic response and range simulation analyses were carried out to verify the reasonableness of the design.

Enhancing the Opportunistic Bone Status Assessment Using Radiomics Based on Dual-Energy Spectral CT Material Decomposition Images.

Unlabelled: The dual-energy spectral CT (DEsCT) employs material decomposition (MD) technology, opening up novel avenues for the opportunistic assessment of bone status. Radiomics, a powerful tool for elucidating the structural and textural characteristics of bone, aids in the detection of mineral loss. Therefore, this study aims to compare the efficacy of bone status assessment using both bone density measurements and radiomics models derived from MD images and to further explore the clinical value of radiomics models.

Early Detection of Macular Atrophy Automated Through 2D and 3D Unet Deep Learning.

Macular atrophy (MA) is an irreversible endpoint of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Early detection is therefore an unmet need. We have developed a novel automated method to identify MA in patients undergoing follow-up with optical coherence tomography (OCT) for AMD based on the combination of 2D and 3D Unet architecture.
