AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how varying the content of Bi(0.5)Li(0.5)ZrO3 (BLZ) affects the phase structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of a specific lead-free ceramic material.
- A significant increase in piezoelectric properties (d33 ~ 400 pC N(-1)) and a high Curie temperature (T(C) = 292 °C) are achieved, particularly in the sample with x = 0.03 BLZ content.
- The research highlights the successful combination of high performance in piezoelectricity and temperature stability in potassium-sodium niobate materials, suggesting their potential for use in high-temperature piezoelectric devices.
Article Abstract
In this work, we elucidate the influence of Bi(0.5)Li(0.5)ZrO3 (BLZ) content on the phase structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of (1 -x)K(0.40)Na(0.60)Nb(0.965)Sb(0.035)O3-xBi(0.5)Li(0.5)ZrO3 lead-free ceramics. We simultaneously achieved a giant d33 and a high T(C) in this material system. The coexistence of rhombohedral and tetragonal phases is responsible for such a large d33 in the ceramics with BLZ contents (x) ranging from 0.025 to 0.035. Doping with BLZ not only induces the formation of the phase boundary, but also maintains a high T(C). The ceramic with x = 0.03 shows an enhanced piezoelectric behaviour (d33 ~ 400 pC N(-1) and k(p) ~ 0.47) together with a high T(C) of 292 °C. A good temperature stability for ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity is also observed in these ceramics. This study is the first time that such a good comprehensive performance has been obtained in potassium-sodium niobate materials. We believe that this type of material system possessing giant-d33 and high-T(C) is a promising candidate for use in high-temperature piezoelectric devices.

Introduction: Central nervous system (CNS) infections represent some of the most critical pediatric health challenges, characterized by high mortality rates and a notable risk of long-term complications. Despite their significance, standardized guidelines for endocrinological follow-up of CNS infection survivors are lacking, leading to reliance on the expertise of individual centers and clinicians.

Background: The effect of background noise on auscultation accuracy for different lung sound classes under standardised conditions, especially at lower to medium levels, remains largely unexplored. This article aims to evaluate the impact of three levels of Gaussian white noise (GWN) on the ability to identify three classes of lung sounds.
Methods And Materials: A pre-post pilot study assessing the impact of GWN on a group of students' ability to identify lung sounds was conducted.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the answers given by ChatGPT, Bard, and Copilot and that obtained from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) website to patient-written questions related to keratoconus in terms of accuracy, understandability, actionability, and readability to find out whether chatbots can be used in patient education.
Methods: Twenty patient-written questions obtained from the AAO website related to keratoconus were asked to ChatGPT, Bard, and Copilot. Two ophthalmologists independently assessed the answers obtained from chatbots and the AAO website in terms of accuracy, understandability, and actionability according to the Structure of Observed Learning Outcome taxonomy, Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool-Understandability, and Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool-Actionability tests, respectively.

The mechanistic understanding of how alkylamines impact Ni-metallophotoredox C-N coupling to form diarylamines remains unclear. In this study, 12-alkylamines were evaluated as additives to determine their effects on the synthesis of diarylamines in a flow photochemical system. Notably, -hexylamine demonstrated the most significant promotional effect.

Hierarchical structures are essential in natural adhesion systems. Replicating these in synthetic adhesives is challenging due to intricate molecular mechanisms and multiscale processes. Here, we report three phosphorylated peptides featuring a hydrophobic self-assembly motif linked to a hydrophilic phosphorylated sequence (pSGSS), forming peptide fibril nanoframeworks.
