Carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) have emerged as pivotal mitigation strategies in addressing climate change induced by greenhouse gas emissions. In this pursuit, our objective is to enhance the efficacy of adsorptive CO capture by harnessing state-of-the-art framework sorbents engineered for exceptional CO selectivity, high intrinsic stability in the presence of moisture, and facile regeneration. To this end, a series of ultramicroporous mixed aluminum and iron formate framework materials, Fe-ALFs, were synthesized.

Background: Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is currently the unique noninvasive imaging technique to investigate the microstructure of in vivo tissues. To fully explore the complex tissue microstructure at sub-voxel scale, diffusion weighted (DW) images along many diffusion gradient directions are usually acquired, this is undoubtedly time consuming and inhibits their clinical applications. How to estimate the tissue microstructure only from DW images acquired with few diffusion directions remains a challenge.

Deep learning methods have been widely used for various glioma predictions. However, they are usually task-specific, segmentation-dependent and lack of interpretable biomarkers. How to accurately predict the glioma histological grade and molecular subtypes at the same time and provide reliable imaging biomarkers is still challenging.

Machine learning offers a promising avenue for expediting the discovery of new compounds by accurately predicting their thermodynamic stability. This approach provides significant advantages in terms of time and resource efficiency compared to traditional experimental and modeling methods. However, most existing models are constructed based on specific domain knowledge, potentially introducing biases that impact their performance.

Article Synopsis
  • Optical sensors using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) offer resistance to electromagnetic interference and perform well in harsh conditions, but the high cost and complexity of their interrogation systems limit their use.
  • A new method employs a waveguide spectral lens (WSL) and a standard CMOS camera to effectively interrogate FBG sensors without the need for complex optics, demonstrating similar wavelength-temperature sensitivity to commercial systems.
  • The system achieves a temperature resolution of 0.1 °C through deep neural network training, indicating that this approach could lead to affordable and compact FBG interrogation solutions.

Astrophotonics aims to transfer photonic technology to the development of compact astronomical instruments. However, light coupling from a multimode fiber, typically adopted in modern observatories, to a single-mode photonic device still poses a challenge. Though a photonic lantern can enable this transition in a low-loss way, it requires that the number of single-mode fibers (SMFs) at the output is the same as the number of guided modes in the multimode fiber, resulting in a cumbersome fan-out of many single-mode devices to be connected.

Respiratory motion, cardiac motion and inherently low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are major limitations ofcardiac diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We propose a novel enhancement method that uses unsupervised learning based invertible wavelet scattering (IWS) to improve the quality ofcardiac DTI.Our method starts by extracting nearly transformation-invariant features from multiple cardiac diffusion-weighted (DW) image acquisitions using multi-scale wavelet scattering (WS).

The prognostication of survival trajectories in multiple myeloma (MM) patients presents a substantial clinical challenge. Leveraging transcriptomic and clinical profiles from an expansive cohort of 2,088 MM patients, sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas repositories, we applied a sophisticated nested lasso regression technique to construct a prognostic model predicated on 28 gene pairings intrinsic to cell death pathways, thereby deriving a quantifiable risk stratification metric. Employing a threshold of 0.

An electro-optical programmable nonlinear function generator (PNFG) is developed on a multimode waveguide with four parallel thermal electrodes. The current on one electrode is chosen as the input, while the rest serve as function-defining units to modulate the multimode interference. The electro-thermo-optical effects are analyzed step by step and the impact on the eigenmode properties is derived.

Long-duration storage of hydrogen is necessary for coupling renewable H with stationary fuel cell power applications. In this work, aluminum formate (ALF), which adopts the ReO-type structure, is shown to have remarkable H storage performance at non-cryogenic (>120 K) temperatures and low pressures. The most promising performance of ALF is found between 120 K and 160 K and at 10 bar to 20 bar.

  • The study focuses on a new material, Al(HCOO), ALF, that can selectively capture carbon dioxide (CO) from hydrocarbon mixtures, which is crucial in the petrochemical industry for acetylene production.
  • ALF exhibits a high CO capacity of 86.2 cm³/g and demonstrates impressive separation ratios of CO from both acetylene (CH) and ethylene (C2H4), making it an effective sorbent for this purpose.
  • The material's ability to preferentially capture CO is attributed to its unique pore structure, which facilitates hydrogen bonding specifically with CO, as confirmed by various scientific techniques including infrared spectroscopy and molecular simulations.

Separating oxygen from air to create oxygen-enriched gas streams is a process that is significant in both industrial and medical fields. However, the prominent technologies for creating oxygen-enriched gas streams are both energy and infrastructure intensive as they use cryogenic temperatures or materials that adsorb N from air. The latter method is less efficient than the methods that adsorb O directly.

Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising technique for non-invasively investigating the myocardial fiber structures of human heart. However, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been a major limit of cardiac DTI to prevent us from detecting myocardium structure accurately. Therefore, it is important to remove the effect of noise on diffusion weighted (DW) images.

Hybrid organic-inorganic antimony halides have attracted increasing attention due to the non-toxicity, stability, and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). To shed light on the structural factors that contribute to the high PLQY, five pairs of antimony halides with general formula A SbCl and A Sb Cl are synthesized via two distinct methods and characterized. The A SbCl type adopts square pyramidal [SbCl ] geometry with near-unity PLQY, while the A Sb Cl adopts seesaw dimmer [Sb Cl ] geometry with PLQY≈0 %.

A light flow controller that can regulate the three-port optical power in both lossless and lossy modus is realized on a programmable multimode waveguide engine. The microheaters on the waveguide chip mimic the tunable "pixels" that can continuously adjust the local refractive index. Compared to the conventional method where the tuning takes place only on single-mode waveguides, the proposed structure is more compact and requires less electrodes.

A combination of gas adsorption and gas breakthrough measurements show that the metal-organic framework, Al(HCOO) (ALF), which can be made inexpensively from commodity chemicals, exhibits excellent CO adsorption capacities and outstanding CO/N selectivity that enable it to remove CO from dried CO-containing gas streams at elevated temperatures (323 kelvin). Notably, ALF is scalable, readily pelletized, stable to SO and NO, and simple to regenerate. Density functional theory calculations and in situ neutron diffraction studies reveal that the preferential adsorption of CO is a size-selective separation that depends on the subtle difference between the kinetic diameters of CO and N.
