This paper reported a research on space charge distribution in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites with different types of graphene and graphene oxide (GO) at low filler content (0.05 wt%) under high DC electric field. Effect of addition of graphene oxide or graphene, its dispersion in LDPE polymer matrix on the ability to suppress space charge generation will be investigated and compared with MgO/LDPE nanocomposite at the same filler concentration. At an applied electric field of 80 kV/mm, a positive packet-like charge was observed in both neat LDPE, MgO/LDPE, and graphene/LDPE nanocomposites, whereas only little homogenous space charge was observed in GO/LDPE nanocomposites, especially with GO synthesized from graphite nano fiber (GNF) which is only -100 nm in diameter. Our research also suggests that dispersion of graphene oxide particles on the polymer matrix plays a significant role to the performance of nanocomposites on suppressing packet-like space charge. From these results, it is expected that nano-sized GO synthesized from GNF can be a promising filler material to LDPE composite for HVDC applications.

Doping guest materials into host materials with a confined space to suppress nonradiative decay is an effective strategy for achieving room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). However, constructing host-guest doped materials with ultralong RTP (URTP) is still challenging. Herein, by embedding three coumarin derivatives into boric acid via one-step heat treatment, the URTP material with an afterglow lasting up to 60 s, a phosphorescence lifetime of 1.

Metasurface-based longitudinal modulation introduces the propagation distance as a new degree of freedom, extending the light modulation with metasurfaces from 2D to 3D space. However, relevant longitudinal studies have been constrained to designing the metasurface of half-wave plate (HWP) meta-atoms and generating either non-focused or two-channel vortex and vector beams. In this study, we propose a metasurface composed of quarter-wave plate (QWP) meta-atoms to generate the longitudinal multi-channel focused vortex and vector beams.

Updates in Non-Operating Room Anesthesia.

Curr Opin Anaesthesiol

March 2025

Will Cornell Medicine, New York.

Purpose Of Review: With an increase in the number and complexity of procedures in nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) locations, navigating the landscape of planning, scheduling, workflow, and patient and clinician safety adds to the challenges of NORA space, requiring coordination of multiple teams and regulatory platforms.

Recent Findings: With the constant increase in cases performed in the NORA space, expected to reach 50% of all anesthetics in the next decade, significant strides must be made in assuring patients' and clinicians' safety. New procedures have been developed and approved in all procedural areas, and anesthesiologists are leading the charge in getting all stakeholders together.

Lead halide perovskites are widely recognized for their exceptional defect tolerance, setting the benchmark for high-performance optoelectronic applications. Conversely, low-toxicity perovskite-inspired materials (PIMs) typically exhibit suboptimal optoelectronic performance, primarily due to their intrinsic susceptibility to defects. In this study, we address this limitation by exploring the effects of halide vacancies in PIMs through the synthesis of non-stoichiometric CsBiBrI microcrystals (MCs) with a trigonal crystal structure, incorporating iodine vacancies.

Non-Newtonian Solute Mixing via Protonic Exchange of a Polyelectrolyte Layer: Unveiling Formation of Electroosmotic Vortices.

Langmuir

March 2025

Microfluidics and Microscale Transport Processes Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati 781039, India.

Biochemical and medical diagnostics are two main fields in which vortex generation in microfluidic devices has several applications. Therefore, the aim of the present endeavor is to investigate the characteristics of a non-Newtonian vortex under the influence of a pH-sensitive polyelectrolyte layer (PEL)-modulated electroosmotic effect in a microchannel. Additionally, it is considered that the bulk solution pH (pH) and ionic concentration of the solution influence the zeta potential.
