We design As2Se3 and As2S3 chalcogenide photonic nanowires to optimize the soliton self-compression with short distances and ultralow input pulse energy. We numerically demonstrate the generation of single optical cycle in an As2S3 photonic nanowire: a 5.07 fs compressed pulse is obtained starting from 250 fs input pulse with 50 pJ in 0.84 mm-long As2S3 nanowire. Taking into account the high two photon absorption (TPA) coefficient in the As2Se3 glass, accurate modeling shows the compression of 250 fs down to 25.4 fs in 2.1 mm-long nanowire and with 10 pJ input pulse energy.

Chitosan (CHT) is a known piezoelectric biomacromolecule; however, its usage is limited due to rapid degradation in an aqueous system. Herein, we prepared CHT film via a solvent casting method and cross-linked in an alkaline solution. Sodium hydroxide facilitated deprotonation, leading to increased intramolecular hydrogen bonding and mechanical properties.

Determining the stimulus frequency resulting in the lowest seizure threshold could produce fewer adverse effects by reducing the overall stimulus intensity. To determine the optimal frequency for seizure induction, four male rhesus macaques were titrated with an increasing number of pulses at fixed frequencies ranging from 5 to 240 pulses per second (pps) using ultrabrief-pulse right-unilateral ECT and circular-coil-on-vertex MST.

Electrochemical activation of small molecules plays an essential role in sustainable electrosynthesis, environmental technologies, energy storage and conversion. The dynamic structural changes of catalysts during the course of electrochemical reactions pose challenges in the study of reaction kinetics and the design of potent catalysts. This short review aims to provide a balanced view of restructuring of electrocatalysts, including its fundamental thermodynamic origins and how these compare to those in thermal and photocatalysis, and highlighting both the positive and negative impacts of restructuring on the electrocatalyst performance.

Given the growing concern over the impact of brain health in individuals with overweight, understanding how mental exertion (ME) during exercise affects substrate oxidation and cardiorespiratory outcomes is crucial. This study examines how ME impacts these outcomes during an incremental exercise test in adults with overweight. Seventeen adults who were overweight completed an incremental exercise test on a cycle ergometer two times, with and without the Stroop task.

The trichloroethylene production industry generates high-boiling-point solid residues during rectification, which contain high concentrations of chlorinated contaminants, particularly hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD). Traditionally, these distillation residues are managed through co-incineration or landfilling, leading to environmental and economic challenges. In this study, we present a rapid and environmentally friendly electrothermal approach for both detoxifying and upcycling distillation residue into graphene-based electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials.
