Flexible thin-film pressure sensors have garnered significant attention due to their applications in industrial inspection and human-computer interactions. However, due to their ultra-thin structure, these sensors often exhibit lower performance, including a narrow pressure response range and low sensitivity, which constrains their further application. The most commonly used microstructure fabrication methods are challenging to apply to ultra-thin functional layers and may compromise the structural stability of the sensors.

Electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based scaffolds are widely used in tissue engineering. However, low cell adhesion remains the key drawback of PCL scaffolds. It is well known that nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon (N-DLC) coatings deposited on the surface of various implants are able to enhance their biocompatibility and functional properties.

Over the past 30 years, researchers have developed X-ray-focusing telescopes by employing the principle of total reflection in thin metal films. The Wolter-I focusing mirror with variable-curvature surfaces demands high precision. However, there has been limited investigation into the removal mechanisms for variable-curvature X-ray mandrels, which are crucial for achieving the desired surface roughness and form accuracy, especially in reducing mid-spatial frequency (MSF) errors.

High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) is widely utilized in natural products research due to its simplicity, low cost, and short total analysis time, including data treatment. While bioautography can be used for rapid detection of bioactive compounds in extracts, the number of available bioautographic methods is limited mainly due to the high cost and difficulty in developing protocols that lead to accurate and reproducible results. For this reason, an alternative method for the detection of bioactive compounds in plant extracts prior to their isolation using HPTLC, combined with multivariate chemometrics, was previously explored by our lab.
