We demonstrate the possible use of the Wigner-Ville transformation for describing ultrashort light pulses in both time and frequency and give support to the intuitive pictures used by experimentalists in the field. Two cases are considered: the effect of linear dispersion and self phase modulation. Various characteristics can be extracted from the Wigner-Ville distribution, e.g., time broadening, power spectrum broadening and reshaping, instantaneous frequency time variation.

Electrical stimulation of existing three-dimensional bioprinted tissues to alter tissue activities is typically associated with wired delivery, invasive electrode placement, and potential cell damage, minimizing its efficacy in cardiac modulation. Here, we report an optoelectronically active scaffold based on printed gelatin methacryloyl embedded with micro-solar cells, seeded with cardiomyocytes to form light-stimulable tissues. This enables untethered, noninvasive, and damage-free optoelectronic stimulation-induced modulation of cardiac beating behaviors without needing wires or genetic modifications to the tissue solely with light.

Hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors that often present in childhood. The 595 nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) is now being widely used to treat vascular skin lesions. This case series was performed to review the therapeutic efficacy and safety of PDL in the treatment of hemangiomas among Vietnamese patients.

The exploitation of high-performance third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials that have a favorable optical limit (OL) threshold is essential due to a rise in the application of ultra-intense lasers. In this study, a Cu-based MOF (denoted as Cu-bpy) was synthesized, and its third-order NLO and OL properties were investigated using the Z-scan technique with the nanosecond laser pulse excitation set at 532 nm. The Cu-bpy exhibits a typical rate of reverse saturable absorption (RSA) with a third-order nonlinear absorption coefficient of 100 cm GW and a favorable OL threshold of 0.

Prussian Blue (PB) is commonly incorporated into screen-printed enzymatic devices since it enables the determination of the enzymatically produced hydrogen peroxide at low potentials. Inkjet printing is gaining popularity in the development of electrochemical sensors as a substitute for screen printing. This work presents a fully inkjet-printed graphene-Prussian Blue platform, which can be paired with oxidase enzymes to prepare a biosensor of choice.

Background: The human sensorimotor system can naturally synchronize with environmental rhythms, such as light pulses or sound beats. Several studies showed that different styles and tempos of music, or other rhythmic stimuli, have an impact on physiological rhythms, including electrocortical brain activity, heart rate, and motor coordination. Such synchronization, also known as the "entrainment effect", has been identified as a crucial mechanism impacting cognitive, motor, and affective functioning.
