A comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography system in combination with photodiode array and mass spectrometry detection was developed for analysis of polyphenols in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) leaf extracts. To achieve this, a micro cyano column and a partially porous octodecylsilica column were used in the first and the second dimension, respectively. The choice of the cyano column over other reversed-phase columns tested for the first-dimension separation was due to its lower correlation selectivity with respect to the octodecylsilica column, which was used for the second-dimension separation. Even when reversed-phase mode was used in both dimensions, a satisfactory degree of orthogonality was achieved by use of different gradient elution modes in the second dimension. By means of the setup investigated, 38 polyphenolic compounds were detected, and among them 24 were positively identified by means of complementary data from photodiode array and mass spectrometry detection and an in-house database. This is the first time such a powerful analytical technique has been used for polyphenolic characterization of sugarcane extracts.

In the study of GaN/AlGaN heterostructure thermal transport, the interference of strain on carriers cannot be ignored. Although existing research has mainly focused on the intrinsic electronic and phonon behavior of the materials, there is a lack of studies on the transport characteristics of the electron-phonon coupling in heterostructures under strain control. This research comprehensively applies first-principles calculations and the Boltzmann transport equation simulation method to deeply analyze the thermal transport mechanism of the GaN/AlGaN heterojunction considering in-plane strain, with particular attention to the regulatory role of electron-phonon coupling on thermal transport.

We present a comprehensive analysis of the optical attributes of graphene sheets with charge carriers residing on a curved substrate. In particular, we focus on the fascinating case of Beltrami geometry and provide an explicit parametrization for this curved two-dimensional surface. By employing the massless Dirac description that is characteristic of graphene, we investigate the impact of the curved geometry on the optical properties within the sample.

The integration of liveness detection into biometric systems is crucial for countering spoofing attacks and enhancing security. This study investigates the efficacy of photoplethysmography (PPG) signals, which offer distinct advantages over traditional biometric techniques. PPG signals are non-invasive, inherently contain liveness information that is highly resistant to spoofing, and are cost-efficient, making them a superior alternative for biometric authentication.

With remarkable stability and exceptional optoelectronic properties, two-dimensional (2D) halide layered perovskites hold immense promise for revolutionizing photovoltaic technology. Effective data representations are key to the success of all learning models. Currently, the lack of comprehensive and accurate material representations has hindered AI-based design and discovery of 2D perovskites, limiting their potential for advanced photovoltaic applications.

Nanofluidics is an interdisciplinary field of study that bridges hydrodynamics, statistical physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, and other fields to investigate the transport of fluids and ions on the nanometric scale. The progress in this field, however, has been constrained by challenges in fabricating nanofluidic devices suitable for systematic investigations. Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) materials have revolutionized the development of nanofluids.
