The Sagnac all-optical fiber logic gate functions as a two-input AND gate, a two-input AND gate with one inverting input, or both. The fiber logic gate is pipelined and has a fixed latency. This latency has no effect on feed-forward combinatoric circuits. The latency can be used to time multiplex circuits or to time multiplex gates to emulate a circuit. Possible applications such as a bit-jitter-tolerant communications system, an asynchronous communications system, a bit-interleaved self-routing switching system, an exchange/bypass permutation unit, and a folded universal state machine are discussed.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression is often marked by early glomerular endothelial cell (GEC) dysfunction, including alterations in the fenestration size and number linked to impaired glomerular filtration. However, the cellular mechanisms regulating GEC fenestrations remain poorly understood due to limitations in existing models, challenges in imaging small fenestrations , and inconsistencies between and findings. This study used a logic-based protein-protein interaction network model with normalized Hill functions for dynamics to explore how glucose-mediated signaling dysregulation impacts fenestration dynamics in GECs.

Optical computing offers advantages such as high bandwidth and low loss, playing a crucial role in signal processing, communication, and sensing applications. Traditional optical logic gates, based on nonlinear fibers and optical amplifiers, suffer from poor robustness and large footprints, hindering their on-chip integration. All-optical logic gates based on topological photonic crystals have emerged as a promising approach for developing robust and monolithic optical computing systems.

Smart control of energy interactions plays a key role in manipulating upconversion dynamics and tuning emission colors for lanthanide-doped materials. However, quantifying the energy flux in particular energy migration in the representative sensitizer-activator coupled upconversion system has remained a challenge. Here we report a conceptual model to examine the energy flux in a single nanoparticle by designing an interfacial energy transfer mediated nanostructure.

This research evaluated ways for applying natural dyes, such as pomegranate peels, marigold flowers, and turmeric separately, to dye hybrid fabric made of cotton and jute. Natural dyes provide a harmless alternative to synthetic dyes, which support the sustainable properties of cotton and jute. Applying natural dyes, such as the dye extracted from pomegranate peels, can reduce wastes.
