Bone dielectric properties (DP) have been extensively studied. However, little literature has reported DP of bone from identical anatomical site under different status and its correlation with microstructure. Therefore, interrelationship between DP and microstructure of rat femurs with varying bone qualities (normal, osteoporotic and partially osteoporotic) was investigated. Diabetic osteoporosis was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection. 8 normal rats as control group together with 16 diabetic rats equally assigned to diabetes mellitus (DM) and DM treated by pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) (DM + PEMF) group were used. DM + PEMF group was daily exposed to PEMF of 15 Hz, 1 mT for 8 weeks. After sacrifice, the femurs were harvested for microCT analysis and dielectric measurements (from 10 Hz to 1 MHz). It was found that DP (conductivity and permittivity) altered after PEMF stimulation improved femoral microstructures (p < 0.01). Significant correlations were found between microstructure indices (MI) and conductivity in the full frequency range (|r| ≥ 0.64, n = 24) as well as permittivity in middle and low frequencies (|r| ≥ 0.52, n = 24, from 1 Hz to 1 kHz). The findings demonstrated the good correlation between DP and MI of femoral bone in rats, which makes it possible to distinguish bone under different status and predict MI variation through dielectric measurements.

Excitons, bound electron-hole pairs, influence the optical properties in strongly interacting solid-state systems and are typically most stable and pronounced in monolayer materials. Bulk systems with large exciton binding energies, on the other hand, are rare and the mechanisms driving their stability are still relatively unexplored. Here, we report an exceptionally large exciton binding energy in single crystals of the bulk van der Waals antiferromagnet CrSBr.

It is a major challenge to obtain broadband microwave absorption (MA) properties using low dielectric or magnetic nanoparticle-decorated carbon composites due to the limited single conductive loss or polarization loss of the carbon materials used as substrates. Novel pure cellulose-derived graphite carbon (CGC) materials can be used as an exceptional substrate option due to their special defective graphitic carbon structure, which provides both conduction and polarization loss. Herein, CGC@ZnO composites were first synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD) for use as microwave absorbents.

Accurate determination of dielectric properties and surface characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite nanosheets, produced by chemical exfoliation of layered perovskites, is often hindered by exfoliation agent residues such as tetrabutylammonium (TBA). This study investigates the effect of ultraviolet (UV) light exposure duration on the removal of TBA residues from 2D Ca2NaNb4O13- nanosheets deposited on silicon substrates via Langmuir-Blodgett method using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Nanoscale adhesion forces between silicon AFM tips and nanofilms exposed to UV light for 3, 12, 18, and 24 hours were measured.

Soft electronics, known for their bendable, stretchable, and flexible properties, are revolutionizing fields such as biomedical sensing, consumer electronics, and robotics. A primary challenge in this domain is achieving low power consumption, often hampered by the limitations of the conventional von Neumann architecture. In response, the development of soft artificial synapses (SASs) has gained substantial attention.
