Background: This study researched the electric impedance properties of breast tissue and demonstrated the different characteristic of electrical impedance scanning (EIS) images.
Methods: The impedance character of 40 malignant tumors, 34 benign tumors and some normal breast tissue from 69 patients undergoing breast surgery was examined by EIS in vivo measurement and mammography screening, with a series of frequencies set between 100 Hz - 100 kHz in the ex vivo spectroscopy measurement.
Results: Of the 39 patients with 40 malignant tumors, 24 showed bright spots, 11 showed dark areas in EIS and 5 showed no specific image. Of the 30 patients with 34 benign tumors there were almost no specific abnormality shown in the EIS results. Primary ex vivo spectroscopy experiments showed that the resistivity of various breast tissue take the following pattern: adipose tissue > cancerous tissue > mammary gland and benign tumor tissue.
Conclusions: There are significant differences in the electrical impedance properties between cancerous tissue and healthy tissue. The impedivity of benign tumor is lower, and is at the same level with that of the mammary glandular tissue. The distinct growth pattern of breast lesions determined the different electrical impedance characteristics in the EIS results.

This study investigated the intra-day and inter-day reliability of electrical impedance myography (EIM) components and explored sex and regional differences in healthy adults' anterior thigh muscles. Using a multifrequency device, impedance values across various frequencies, alongside 50-kHz resistance (R), reactance (Xc), and phase angle (PhA) were assessed in both sexes and at whole anterior thigh, proximal and distal regions. Findings revealed excellent reliability (ICC > 0.

To elucidate interfacial dynamics during electrocatalytic reactions, it is crucial to understand the adsorption behavior of organic molecules on catalytic electrodes within the electric double layer (EDL). However, the EDL structure in aqueous environments remains intricate when it comes to the electrochemical amination of acetone, using methylamine as a nitrogen source. Specifically, the interactions of acetone and methylamine with the copper electrode in water remain unclear, posing challenges in the prediction and optimization of reaction outcomes.

The introduction of heterovalent metal ion doping in the lead (Pb) halide perovskites presents a novel opportunity to manipulate the electronic and ionic properties by introducing dopant charges and increasing the carrier concentration in single crystals. While previous studies have reported on the use of bismuth (Bi) doping in methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr) to adjust the optical properties, the comprehensive impact of Bi doping on the structural and electronic properties of MAPbBr single crystals remains unexplored. This research, therefore, delves into the anomalous behavior of the structural, optical, and electrical properties of pristine and doped MAPbBr single crystals through a combination of experimental and computational studies.

The present investigation provides an easy and affordable strategy for fabrication of functional ceramics BiNaTiO-SrFeO (BNT-SrF5) thick films on a flexible, inexpensive and electrically integrated substrate using electrophoretic deposition process (EPD). EPD is a widely accepted, environmentally friendly method for applying coatings from a colloidal suspension to conductive substrates. Lead-free ferroelectric BNT-SrF5 powder was synthesized by solid state method to fabricate bulk samples and thick films (30-160 μm) by EPD process.
