The ongoing quest for a safe, simple, effective, minimally invasive, and stable refractive surgical procedure to correct refractive errors has stimulated the development of surface ablation techniques and laser in situ keratomileusis. In this review, we describe the history, patient assessment, techniques, outcomes, and complications of surface ablation (photorefractive keratectomy, laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratectomy, epithelial laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) and compare the results of various surface techniques. Surface ablation procedures will continue to evolve, with potential improvements in outcomes accompanying future sophisticated ablation profiles and laser technology.

Single-atom catalysts with abnormally high catalytic activity have garnered extensive attention and interest for their application in tumor therapy. Despite the advancements made with current nanotherapeutic agents, developing efficient systems for cancer treatment remains challenging due to low activity, uncontrollable behavior, and nonselective interactions. Herein, we have constructed Ru single-atom-anchored MXene nanozymes (Ru-TiCT-PEG) with a mild photothermal effect and multi-enzyme catalytic activity for synergistic tumor therapy.

A gold-cerium bimetallic asteroid nanoplatform (CeO@GNSs/Myr-HA) was obtained by electrostatically adsorbing ultra-small cerium dioxide (CeO) onto gold nanostars (GNSs) and further loading myricetin (Myr) and hyaluronic acid (HA). This nanoplatform exhibited three types of enzymatic properties-that is, GOD (glucose-oxidase), POD (peroxidase) and GSH-Ox (glutathione oxidase) mimicking catalytic activities. These enzymatic properties work together to effectively induce apoptosis in tumor cells.

Synergistic therapy combining photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has proven to be a highly effective strategy for cancer treatment. However, PTT heavily relies on the accumulation of therapeutic agents at the tumor site. The peroxidase (POD) activity of common catalysts can be rapidly exhausted during the accumulation process, prior to laser intervention, thereby diminishing the synergistic enhancement effect of the combined therapy.

Mesoscale eddies are pivotal oceanographic phenomena affecting marine environments. Accurate and stable identification of these eddies is essential for advancing research on their dynamics and effects. Current methods primarily focus on identifying Cyclonic and Anticyclonic eddies (CE, AE), with anomalous eddy identification often requiring secondary analyses of sea surface height anomalies and eddy center properties, leading to segmented data interpretations.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has significant potential as a third-generation semiconductor material due to its exceptional thermal and electronic properties, yet its high hardness and brittleness make processing costly and complex. This study introduces ultraviolet laser ablation as a method for direct SiC material removal, investigating the effects of varying scanning speeds on surface composition, hardness, and ablation depth. The results indicate optimal processing speeds for the Si and C faces at 200 mm/s and 100 mm/s, respectively.
